Qcd Dirac Spectra and the Toda Lattice *

چکیده
We discuss the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator both at zero and at nonzero baryon chemical potential. We show that, in the ergodic domain of QCD, the Dirac spectrum can be obtained from the replica limit of a Toda lattice equation. At zero chemical potential this method explains the factorization of known results into compact and noncompact integrals, and at nonzero chemical potential it allows us to derive the previously unknown microscopic spectral density.

Qcd, Chiral Random Matrix Theory and Integrability
1. Summary Random Matrix Theory has been a unifying approach in physics and mathematics. In these lectures we discuss applications of Random Matrix Theory to QCD and emphasize underlying integrable structures. In the first lecture we give an overview of QCD, its low-energy limit and the microscopic limit of the Dirac spectrum which, as we will see in the second lecture, can be described by chir...
متن کامل4 The Replica Method and Toda Lattice Equations for QCD 3
We consider the ǫ-regime of QCD in 3 dimensions. It is shown that the leading term of the effective partition function satisfies a set of Toda lattice equations, recursive in the number of flavors. Taking the replica limit of these Toda equations allows us to derive the microscopic spectral correlation functions for the QCD Dirac operator in 3 dimensions. For an even number of flavors we reprod...

متن کاملThe Supersymmetric Method in Random Matrix Theory and Applications to QCD
The supersymmetric method is a powerful method for the nonperturbative evaluation of quenched averages in disordered systems. Among others, this method has been applied to the statistical theory of S-matrix fluctuations, the theory of universal conductance fluctuations and the microscopic spectral density of the QCD Dirac operator. We start this series of lectures with a general review of Rando...
متن کاملDirac Spectra of 2-dimensional QCD-like theories
We analyze Dirac spectra of two-dimensional QCD like theories both in the continuum and on the lattice and classify them according to random matrix theories sharing the same global symmetries. The classification is di↵erent from QCD in four dimensions because the anti-unitary symmetries do not commute with 5. Therefore in a chiral basis, the number of degrees of freedom per matrix element are n...
