The importance of the spectral density of the Dirac operator in studying spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and anomalous U(1) axial symmetry breaking are reviewed. It is shown that both types of symmetry breaking can be traced to effects…

We show that integrable structure of chiral random matrix models incorporating global symmetries of QCD Dirac operators (labeled by the Dyson index beta=1,2, and 4) leads to emergence of a connection relation between the spectral statistics…
We present a formulation of chiral gauge theories, which admits more general spectra of Dirac operators and reveals considerably more possibilities for the structure of the chiral projections. Our two forms of correlation functions both…
The low energy eigenmodes of the continuum QCD Dirac operator are extended, but on the lattice, due to discretization effects, the Dirac operator can have localized eigenmodes. These non-physical modes can introduce strong lattice artifacts…
In the epsilon-regime of lattice QCD one can get an accurate measurement of the pion decay constant F_pi by monitoring how just one single Dirac operator eigenvalue splits into two when subjected to two different external vector sources.…
We consider the direct and inverse spectral problems for Dirac operators that are generated by the differential expressions $$ \mathfrak t_q:=\frac{1}{i}[I&0 0&-I]\frac{d}{dx}+[0&q q^*&0] $$ and some separated boundary conditions. Here $q$…

Instead of the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation we only require generalized chiral symmetry and show that this results in a larger class of Dirac operators describing massless fermions, which in addition to GW fermions and to the ones proposed…
By computing the Dirac operator spectrum by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory, we aim at throwing some light on the widely accepted picture for the mechanism which is behind the Bank-Casher relation. The latter relates the…

We prove that the massless Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R^3}$ with long-range potential has an a.c. spectrum which fills the whole real line. The Dirac operators with matrix-valued potentials are considered as well.
The half-line Dirac operators with $L^2$-potentials can be characterized by their spectral data. It is known that the spectral correspondence is a homeomorphism: close potentials give rise to close spectral data and vice versa. We prove the…
