Abstract: The quark-hadron crossover conjecture was proposed as a continuity between hadronic matter and quark matter with no phase transition.It is based on matching of symmetry and excitations in both the phases.It connects hyperon matter and color-flavor locked (CFL) phase of color superconductivity in the limit of light strange quark mass.We study generalization of this conjecture in the presence of topological vortices.We propose a picture where hadronic superfluid vortices in hyperon matter could be connected to non-Abelian vortices (color magnetic flux tubes) in the CFL phase during this crossover.We propose that three hadronic superfluid vortices must join together to three non-Abelian vortices with different color fluxes with the total color magnetic fluxes canceled out, where the junction is called a colorful boojum.
