We continue the development of transfer operator techniques for expanding maps on a lattice coupled by general interaction functions. We obtain a spectral gap for an appropriately defined transfer operator, and, as corollaries, the…
We investigate the spectral properties of a random matrix model, which in the large $N$ limit, embodies the essentials of the QCD partition function at low energy. The exact spectral density and its pair correlation function are derived for…
We review recent progress in lattice QCD at finite density. The phase diagram of QCD and the equation of state at finite temperature and density are discussed. In particular, we focus on the critical point terminating a first order phase…

The forms of the neutral, non-strange pseudoscalar propagator matrix and mixed axial current correlator, $\lngle0|T(A_\mu^3 A_\nu^8)|0\rangle$, are discussed at next-to-leading (one-loop) order in chiral perturbation theory, and the results…
We demonstrate the lattice QCD calculation of the long distance contribution to $\epsilon_K$. Due to the singular, short-distance structure of $\epsilon_K$, we must perform a short-distance subtraction and introduce a corresponding…
As we search for an ever deeper understanding of the structure of hadronic matter one of the most fundamental questions is whether or not one can make a connection to the underlying theory of the strong interaction, QCD. We build on recent…
A generalization of Wilson's local OPE for the short-distance expansion of Euclidean current correlators, called delocalized operator expansion (DOE), which has been proposed recently, is discussed. The DOE has better convergence properties…
We discuss in general terms pole trajectories of resonances coupling to a continuum channel as some strength parameter is varied. It is demonstrated that, regardless the underlying dynamics, the trajectories of poles that couple to the…
The lattice data on the instanton size distribution suggest an additional O($\rho^2)$ action. The small-$\rho$ effect O($\rho^4)$ predicted by the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) is not observed. Similar deviations are also found for…
The correlation function of a $V-A$ current with a $V+A$ current is discussed within the framework of QCD in the limit of a large number of colours $N_c$. Applications to the evaluation of chiral condensates of dimension six and higher, as…
Spin-orbit coupling induces a current density in the ground state, which consequently requires a generalization for meta-generalized gradient approximations. That is, the exchange-correlation energy has to be constructed as an explicit…
QCD matter at finite temperature and density is a subject that has witnessed very impressive theoretical developments in the recent years. In this review I will discuss some new insights on the microscopic degrees of freedom of the QCD…
In lattice QCD spectrum calculations, it is desirable to obtain multiple excited state energies in each symmetry channel. Typically, one constructs several interpolating operators for the symmetry channel of interest, forms the `correlator…
The set of space-time short-distance structures which can be described through linear operators is limited to a few basic cases. These are continua, lattices and a further short-distance structure which implies an ultraviolet cut-off. Under…

We study current-current correlations in the three-band Hubbard model for two-leg CuO ladders using the density-matrix renormalization group method. We find that these correlations decrease exponentially with distance for low doping but as…
