We compute the low lying eigenvalues of the Hermitian Dirac operator in lattice QCD with $N_{\rm f} = 2+1+1$ twisted mass fermions. We discuss whether these eigenvalues are in the $\epsilon$-regime or the $p$-regime of Wilson chiral…

We summarize recent analytical results obtained for lattice artifacts of the non-Hermitian Wilson Dirac operator. Hereby we discuss the effect of all three low energy constants. In particular we study the limit of small lattice spacing and…
We find the lattice spacing dependence of the eigenvalue density of the non-Hermitian Wilson Dirac operator in the $\epsilon$-domain. The starting point is the joint probability density of the corresponding random matrix theory. In addition…
Two numerical algorithms for the computation of eigenvalues of Dirac operators in lattice gauge theories are described: one is an accelerated conjugate gradient method, the other one a standard Lanczos method. Results obtained by Cullum's…
In a system where chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low energy eigenmodes of the continuum Dirac operator are extended. On the lattice, due to discretization effects, the Dirac operator can have localized eigenmodes that affect…
In this lecture we argue that the fluctuations of Dirac eigenvalues on the finest scale, i.e. on the scale of the average level spacing do not depend on the underlying dynamics and can be obtained from a chiral random matrix theory with the…
We introduce a random two-matrix model interpolating between a chiral Hermitian (2n+nu)x(2n+nu) matrix and a second Hermitian matrix without symmetries. These are taken from the chiral Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (chGUE) and Gaussian Unitary…
When chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low-energy part of the Dirac operator spectrum can be computed analytically in the chiral limit. The tool is effective field theory or, equivalently in this case, Random Matrix Theory.
