Twisted mass QCD (tmQCD) has been introduced as a solution to the problem of unphysical fermion zero modes in lattice QCD with quarks of the Wilson type. We here argue that O(a) improvement of the tmQCD action and simple quark bilinear…
We propose a random matrix theory for QCD in three dimensions with a Chern-Simons term at level $k$ which spontaneously breaks the flavor symmetry according to U($2N_{\rm f}$) $\to $ U($N_{\rm f}+k$)$\times$U($N_{\rm f}-k$). This random…
