It is known that contrary to expectations, the order parameter of chiral symmetry breaking, the Dirac spectral density at zero virtuality does not vanish above the critical temperature of QCD. Instead, the spectral density develops a…
A Finite Energy QCD sum rule at non-zero temperature is used to determine the $q^2$- and the T-dependence of the $\rho \pi \pi$ vertex function in the space-like region. A comparison with an independent QCD determination of the…

A phenomenological model for the quark structure of mesons is considered. The model is based on the tube model for QCD, where all quanta with nonzero transverse momenta are neglected. In the limit that the mass term of the gluons goes to…
We study the Anderson-type transition previously found in the spectrum of the QCD quark Dirac operator in the high temperature, quark-gluon plasma phase. Using finite size scaling for the unfolded level spacing distribution, we show that in…
