Universal Scaling of the Chiral Condensate in Finite-Volume Gauge Theories
We confront exact analytical predictions for the finite-volume scaling of the chiral condensate with data from quenched lattice gauge theory simulations. Using staggered fermions in both the fundamental and adjoint representations, and gauge groups SU(2) and SU(3), we are able to test simultaneously all of the three chiral universality classes. With overlap fermions we also test the predictions...
متن کاملFinite-Volume Scaling of the Quenched Chiral Condensate∗
Surprisingly, there exists a deep connection between finite-volume gauge theories with spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetries, and Random Matrix Theory (RMT). In the chiral limit mi → 0 such that μi ≡ miΣV are kept fixed, the field-theoretic partition functions Zν({μi}) become identical to certain (chiral) RMT partition functions [1]. Here Σ denotes the (conventional) infinite-volume chiral ...
متن کاملFinite - size scaling and the deconfinement transition in gauge theories
We introduce a new method for determining the critical indices of the deconfinement transition in gauge theories. The method is based on the finite size scaling behavior of the expectation value of simple lattice operators, such as the plaquette. We test the method for the case of SU (3) pure gauge theory in (2 + 1) dimensions and obtain a precise determination of the critical index ν, in agree...
متن کاملThe spectrum of SU(N) gauge theories in finite volume
We compute the spatial-volume dependence of the spectrum of 4D SU(3 ≤ N ≤ 6) gauge theories by lattice Monte-Carlo techniques. Setting the scale with the string tension, the spatial volume is L3 with 0.78fm ≤ L ≤ 2.3fm. The Euclidean ‘time’ direction is kept large enough to be considered infinite and the boundary conditions are periodic in all four dimensions. We study the mixing of torelon pai...
متن کاملChiral gauge theories revisited
A characteristic feature of the electroweak interactions is that the leftand righthanded components of the fermion fields do not couple to the gauge fields in the same way. The term chiral gauge theory is reserved for field theories of this type, while all other gauge theories (such as QCD) are referred to as vector-like, since the gauge fields only couple to vector currents in this case. At fi...
