It was previously found that at high temperature the lowest part of the QCD Dirac spectrum consists of localized modes obeying Poisson statistics. Higher up in the spectrum, modes become delocalized and their statistics can be described by…
Disorder or sufficiently strong interactions can render a metallic state unstable causing it to turn into an insulating one. Despite the fact that the interplay of these two routes to a vanishing conductivity has been a central research…
We consider invariant matrix models with log-normal (asymptotic) weight. It is known that their eigenvalue distribution is intermediate between Wigner-Dyson and Poissonian, which candidates these models for describing a system intermediate…
Ballooning instabilities are investigated in three-dimensional magnetic toroidal plasma confinement systems with low global magnetic shear. The lack of any continuous symmetry in the plasma equilibrium can lead to these modes being…
Staggered fermion shift symmetries correspond to translations of the fermion field within the unit cell of a hypercubic lattice. They satisfy an algebra and in four Euclidean dimensions can be related to a discrete subgroup of an $SU(4)$…
Recent lattice measurements of the topological susceptibility of SU(2) gauge theory using improved cooling and inverse-blocking are in disagreement. We use the overlap method, which probes the fermionic sector of the theory directly, to…

We consider the SU(2) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature in (d+1) dimensions, with different couplings $\beta_t$ and $\beta_s$ for timelike and spacelike plaquettes. By using the character expansion of the Wilson action and…
The Anderson localization problem in one and two dimensions is solved analytically via the calculation of the generalized Lyapunov exponents. This is achieved by making use of signal theory. The phase diagram can be analyzed in this way. In…
We study the phase transition in the abelian lattice gauge theory using the Wilson-Polyakov line as the order parameter. The Wilson-Polyakov line remains very small at strong coupling and becomes non-zero at weak coupling, signalling a…
Real materials always contain, to some extent, randomness in the form of defects or irregularities. It is known since the seminal work of Anderson that randomness can drive a metallic phase to an insulating one, and the mechanism…
The prevalence of sparsity in interacting many-body systems motivates an investigation into the spectral statistics of sparse random matrices with on-site disorder. We numerically demonstrate that the Anderson transition can be identified…
