In the absence of lattice QCD at a density relevant to compact stars, simulating skyrmions and/or instantons on crystal is the only way presently known to treat non-pertubatively the presumed strongly-correlated structure of dense baryonic matter in QCD. The primary purpose of this meeting is work-together with minimal number of talks that deal with new issues in the physics of Skyrmion matter. In this sense, this meeting is “focused workshop.”
