Lattice QCD in the ǫ-regime and random matrix theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the ǫ-regime of QCD the main features of the spectrum of the low-lying eigenvalues of the (euclidean) Dirac operator are expected to be described by a certain universality class of random matrix models. In particular, the latter predict the joint statistical distribution of the individual eigenvalues in any topological sector of the theory. We compare some of these predictions with high-precision numerical data obtained from lattice QCD for a range of lattice spacings and volumes. While no complete matching is observed, the results agree with theoretical expectations at volumes larger than about 5 fm.

Equivalence of QCD in the ǫ-regime and chiral Random Matrix Theory with or without chemical potential
We prove that QCD in the ǫ-regime of chiral Perturbation Theory is equivalent to chiral Random Matrix Theory for zero and both non-zero real and imaginary chemical potential μ. To this aim we prove a theorem that relates integrals over fermionic and bosonic variables to super-Hermitian or super-Unitary groups also called superbosonisation. Our findings extend previous results for the equivalenc...
متن کاملPartially quenched chiral perturbation theory in the ǫ-regime
We calculate meson correlators in the ǫ-regime within partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. The valence quark masses and sea quark masses can be chosen arbitrary and all non-degenerate. Taking some of the sea quark masses to infinity, one obtains a smooth connection among the theories with different number of flavors, as well as the quenched theory. These results can be directly compar...
متن کاملModeling pion physics in the ǫ-regime of two-flavor QCD using strong coupling lattice QED
Abstract In order to model pions of two-flavor QCD we consider a lattice field theory involving two flavors of staggered quarks interacting strongly with U(1) gauge fields. For massless quarks, this theory has an SUL(2) × SUR(2) × UA(1) symmetry. By adding a four-fermion term we can break the UA(1) symmetry and thus incorporate the physics of the QCD anomaly. We can also tune the pion decay con...
متن کاملRandom Lattice QCD and chiral effective theories
Resent developments in the Random Matrix and Random Lattice Theories give a possibility to find low-energy theorems for many physical models in the Born-Infeld form [1]. In our approach that based on the Random Lattice regularization of QCD we try to used the similar ideas in the low-energy baryon physics for finding of the low-energy theory for the chiral fields in the strong-coupling regime. ...
متن کاملQuenched and Unquenched Chiral Perturbation Theory in the ǫ-Regime
When the chiral limit m → 0 of QCD is taken at finite four-volume V , one will eventually, no matter how big V is, reach a regime where the pion Compton wavelength 1/mπ exceeds the linear size L ≡ V 1/4 of the box. If the volume at the same time is much bigger than the QCD scale, one is in an interesting region, the ǫ-regime of QCD, where the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry is dictating th...
