Lessons from Random Matrix Theory for Qcd at Finite Density
نویسنده
چکیده
In this lecture we discuss various aspects of QCD at nonzero chemical potential, including its phase diagram and the Dirac spectrum, and summarize what chiral random matrix theory has contributed to this subject. To illustrate the importance of the phase of the fermion determinant, we particularly highlight the differences between QCD and phase quenched QCD.

Factorization Method for Simulating Qcd at Finite Density
We propose a new method for simulating QCD at finite density. The method is based on a general factorization property of distribution functions of observables, and it is therefore applicable to any system with a complex action. The so-called overlap problem is completely eliminated by the use of constrained simulations. We test this method in a Random Matrix Theory for finite density QCD, where...
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 کاملThe Factorization Method for Simulating Systems with a Complex Action
We propose a method for Monte Carlo simulations of systems with a complex action. The method has the advantages of being in principle applicable to any such system and provides a solution to the overlap problem. We apply it in random matrix theory of finite density QCD where we compare with analytic results. In this model we find non–commutativity of the limits μ → 0 and N → ∞ which could be of...
متن کاملDirac Operator Spectra from Finite-Volume Partition Functions
Based on the relation to random matrix theory, exact expressions for all microscopic spectral correlators of the Dirac operator can be computed from finite-volume partition functions. This is illustrated for the case of SU(Nc) gauge theories with Nc ≥ 3 and Nf fermions in the fundamental representation. NBI-HE-97-60 hep-th/9711110 Central to the understanding of chiral symmetry breaking in gaug...
متن کاملQCD Dirac Spectra With and Without Random Matrix Theory
Recent work on the spectrum of the Euclidean Dirac operator spectrum show that the exact microscopic spectral density can be computed in both random matrix theory, and directly from field theory. Exact relations to effective Lagrangians with additional quark species form the bridge between the two formulations. Taken together with explicit computations in the chGUE random matrix ensemble, a ser...
