  Nonperturbative equations of state (EoSs) for two and three quark flavors are
constructed with the functional renormalization group (FRG) within a
quark-meson model truncation augmented by vector mesons for low temperature and
high density. Based on previous FRG studies without repulsive vector meson
interactions the influence of isoscalar vector $\omega$- and $\phi$-mesons on
the dynamical fluctuations of quarks and (pseudo)scalar mesons is investigated.
The grand potential as well as vector meson condensates are evaluated as a
function of quark chemical potential and the quark matter EoS in
$\beta$-equilibrium is applied to neutron star (NS) physics. The tidal
deformability and mass-radius relations for hybrid stars from combined hadronic
and quark matter EoSs are compared for different vector couplings. We observe a
significant impact of the vector mesons on the quark matter EoS such that the
resulting EoS is sufficiently stiff to support two-solar-mass neutron stars.
