We compute the quark number susceptibilities in two flavor QCD for staggered fermions by adding the chemical potential as a Lagrange multiplier for the point-split number density term. Since lesser number of quark propagators are required…
We derive the two-point spectral correlation function of the Dirac operator with a specific external source in the $\epsilon$-regime of QCD. This correlation function has a unique and strong dependence on $F_\pi$, and thus provides an novel…
