The strongly coupled QCD dynamics controls colored particles? (quarks and gluons) collective motion at large spacetime separations and the formation of colorless composite states (hadrons). While QCD theory and the related phenomenology aspects are being intensively studied in laboratory measurements, the possible connections of this important layer of knowledge to cosmology remain rather vague and largely unexplored. No doubt, the physical vacuum has been transformed many times throughout the lifetime of the universe and has affected its history through a sequence of events, such as the cosmic inflation, phase transitions, and the dark-energy-dominated expansion. Strong interactions could play an important role in some of these cosmological events. In particular, the emergence of a new state of matter called the quark-gluon plasma at the LHC is often suggested to provide an important source of empirical knowledge to what the universe looked like in the first few moments after the Big Bang. This Special Issue aims at creating an overview of the recent progress in these directions by focusing on the novel implications of quantum chromo, or more generally, Yang?Mills (YM) dynamics, to the physics of the early universe and critical phenomena in cosmology. 517 $aShedding Light to the Dark Sides of the Universe 606 $aResearch 606 $aPhysics 610 $adynamics of phase transitions 610 $aspinodal instability 610 $aheavy-ion collisions 610 $aneutron stars 610 $adark energy 610 $anon-Abelian gauge theory 610 $acondensate 610 $aQCD 610 $aDGLAP equations 610 $aphysics beyond the standard model 610 $atensorgluons 610 $aextended DGLAP equations 610 $atensorgluon splitting functions 610 $aneutron star 610 $aequation of state 610 $amany-body methods of nuclear matter 610 $aneutron-skin thickness 610 $aGW170817 610 $aWeyl gravity 610 $arenormalization group 610 $ainflation 610 $alight scalar fields 610 $aaxial anomaly 610 $aSU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics 610 $ade-percolation of axionic lumps 610 $acosmological and galactic dark-matter densities 610 $acosmology 610 $aparticle physics 610 $aparticle symmetry 610 $astable particles 610 $adark matter 610 $acosmic rays 610 $aQCD in the early universe 610 $aphase transitions 610 $ahydrodynamical evolution 610 $aequation of state of super-dense matter 610 $aclassical Yang-Mills fields 610 $aDark Energy 610 $aDark Matter 610 $agluon condensate 610 $aeffective Yang-Mills action 610 $acosmic inflation 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aPhysics. 702 $aS?umbera$b Michal 702 $aPasechnik$b Roman 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910639989103321 996 $aShedding Light to the Dark Sides of the Universe: Cosmology from Strong Interactions$93655968 997 $aUNINA
