چکیده
The order parameter of the chiral phase transition is directly related to the infrared part of the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator. This part of the spectrum follows from the low energy limit of QCD which is given by a partition function of weakly interacting Goldstone modes. We find that the slope of the Dirac spectrum is determined by the pion decay constant whereas for λ ≪ 1/L 2 Λ QCD the correlations of the Dirac eigenvalues are given by a random matrix theory with the global symmetries of the QCD partition function. A possible observation of these continuum results in lattice QCD with staggered fermions is discussed.

The advantage of this action is that the Dirac operator remains non-singular when m = 0 so that we can work in the chiral limit. Note that we have an exact chiral symmetry generated by γ5ξ5 which means we will have a massless pion at m = 0 when this symmetry is spontaneously broken. The 4-fermion term is an irrelevant operator, so this theory should have the same continuum limit — continuum QCD...

The correlations of the QCD Dirac eigenvalues are studied with use of an extended chiral random matrix model. The inclusion of spatial dependence which the original model lacks enables us to investigate the effects of diffusion modes. We get analytical expressions of level correlation functions with non-universal behavior caused by diffusion modes which is characterized by Thouless energy. Pion...

Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from parton to hadron degrees of freedom is demonstrated by analysing generalized Q-dependent polarizabilities of the nucleon. Turning to low energy QCD we summarize recent devel...

The spectrum of the Dirac operator near zero virtuality obtained in lattice gauge simulations is known to be universally described by chiral random matrix theory. We address the question of the maximum energy for which this universality persists. For this purpose, we analyze large ensembles of complete spectra of the Euclidean Dirac operator for staggered fermions. We calculate the disconnected...
