2 00 4 The Replica Method and Toda Lattice Equations for QCD

چکیده
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 reproduce known results derived using other techniques. In the case of an odd number of flavors the theory has a severe sign problem, and we obtain previously unknown microscopic spectral correlation functions.

4 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 کاملQcd Dirac Spectra and the Toda Lattice *
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 all...
متن کاملQcd, 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...

Using the replica method, we analyze the mass dependence of the QCD 3 partition function in a parameter range where the leading contribution is from the zero momentum Goldstone fields. Three complementary approaches are considered in this article. First, we derive exact relations between the QCD 3 partition function and the QCD 4 partition function continued to half-integer topological charge. ...
