Dirac eigenvalue correlations in quenched QCD at finite density

چکیده
We compare eigenvalue correlations of the Dirac operator with a chemical potential obtained from lattice simulations of quenched QCD with analytic predictions obtained from chiral effective theories in the zero-momentum limit. By comparing the density and two-point correlation function we show that the analytic results agree with QCD at low energies. We also examine the scale (Thouless energy) up to which the zero-momentum approximation is valid.

Random Matrix Theory and Dirac Spectrum at Nonzero Temperature and Density
We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the staggered Dirac matrix in SU(3) gauge theory and in full QCD as well as in quenched U(1) theory on various lattice sizes. As a measure of the fluctuation properties of the eigenvalues, we study the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution, P (s). We further study lattice QCD at nonzero chemical potential, μ, by constructing the spacing distribution of ...
متن کاملRandom matrix model of QCD at finite density and the nature of the quenched limit.
We use a random matrix model to study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD at finite chemical potential μ. We solve the model and compute the eigenvalue density of the Dirac matrix on a complex plane. A naive “replica trick” fails for μ 6= 0: we find that quenched QCD is not a simple n → 0 limit of QCD with n quarks. It is the limit of a theory with 2n quarks: n quarks with original action and n qua...
متن کاملOn the spectral density from instantons in quenched QCD
We investigate the contribution of instantons to the eigenvalue spectrum of the Dirac operator in quenched QCD. The instanton configurations that we use have been derived, elsewhere, from cooled SU(3) lattice gauge fields and, for comparison, we also analyse a random ‘gas’ of instantons. Using a set of simplifying approximations, we find a non-zero chiral condensate. However we also find that t...

We investigate the contribution that instantons make to the QCD chiral con-densate for N f = 0, 1 and 2 quark flavours. We use a simplified model: the instantons are a (weighted) gas, the fermionic integrations are restricted to the subspace spanned by the would-be zero-modes and only the dimensional and chiral features of the Dirac operator are retained. Previous work along these lines found a...
متن کاملDetermination of Fπ from Distributions of Dirac Operator Eigenvalues with Imaginary Density
In the ε-regime of lattice QCD one can get an accurate measurement of the pion decay constant Fπ by monitoring how just one single Dirac operator eigenvalue splits into two when subjected to two different external vector sources. Because we choose imaginary chemical potentials our Dirac eigenvalues remain real. Based on the relevant chiral Random Two-Matrix Theory we derive individual eigenvalu...
