Dynamical chiral-symmetry breaking in QCD is studied with the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) formalism based on lattice QCD data, i.e., LQCD-based SD formalism. We extract the SD kernel function $K(p^2)$ in an Ansatz-independent manner from the…
We present results of a Monte Carlo simulation of a three dimensional Gross-Neveu model with SU(2)xSU(2) chiral symmetry at non-zero baryon chemical potential mu, corresponding to non-zero baryon density. For mu sufficiently large there is…
Using the overlap-Dirac eigenmodes, we study the spatial distribution of the chiral condensate around static color sources in lattice QCD. Between the color sources, there appears a color-flux tube, which leads a linear confining potential.…

We analyse in detail the behaviour of supersymmetric QCD with a number of flavours M smaller than the number of colours N, for quark masses smaller than the dynamically generated scale. In this regime, we find it useful to move from meson…
The overlap Dirac operator, which satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, realizes exact chiral symmetry on the lattice without any unphysical doubler modes. To perform the path integrals, one should, however, note that the overlap fermion…
