It is known that contrary to expectations, the order parameter of chiral symmetry breaking, the Dirac spectral density at zero virtuality does not vanish above the critical temperature of QCD. Instead, the spectral density develops a…
In this paper we study a random matrix model with the chiral and flavor structure of the QCD Dirac operator and a temperature dependence given by the lowest Matsubara frequency. Using the supersymmetric method for random matrix theory, we…

We review applications of random matrix theory to QCD at nonzero temperature and chemical potential. The chiral phase transition of QCD and QCD-like theories is discussed in terms of eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. We show that for QCD…

The use of the absolute measure of local chirality is championed since it has a uniform distribution for randomly reshuffled chiral components so that any deviations from uniformity in the associated "X-distribution" are directly…
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 study a class of one-matrix models with an action containing nonpolynomial terms. By tuning the coupling constants in the action to criticality we obtain that the eigenvalue density vanishes as an arbitrary real power at the origin, thus…

We consider sum rules of the Weinberg type at zero and nonzero temperatures. On the basis of the operator product expansion at zero temperature we obtain a new sum rule which involves the average of a four-quark operator on one side and…
We will report recent progress on the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and density. In particular, we discuss the universal scaling of the chiral transition in the limit of two massless quarks and one strange quark. We also discuss…
In this article we study chiral symmetry breaking for quark matter in a magnetic background, $\bm B$, at finite temperature and quark chemical potential, $\mu$, making use of the Ginzburg-Landau effective action formalism. As a microscopic…
We re-analyze data from available finite-temperature QCD simulations near the chiral transition, with the help of Chiral Random Matrix Theory (chRMT). Statistical properties of the lowest-lying eigenvalues of the staggered Dirac operator…
We derive a non-local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model from QCD with a form factor exactly obtained in the infrared limit. With this model, having all the parameters properly fixed through those of QCD, we consider the case of finite temperature…
We derive universal scaling laws for physical observables such as the critical temperature, the chiral condensate, and the pion decay constant as a function of the flavor number near the conformal window of many-flavor QCD in the chiral…
We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the staggered Dirac matrix in two-color QCD at nonzero temperature and at baryon density when the eigenvalues become complex. The quasi-zero modes and their role for chiral symmetry breaking and the…
We investigate the static scaling behavior of the chiral condensate near the two-flavor critical point within the framework of the soft-wall AdS/QCD. The scaling functions are extracted from the chiral order parameters and are found to…
We study the interplay of quark number density and chiral symmetry in lattice QCD. We suggest that both are controlled by the eigenvalue spectrum of the fermionic propagator matrix, which shapes the pattern of zeros of the partition…
We study analytically the chiral phase transition for hot quark matter in presence of a strong magnetic background, focusing on the existence of a critical point at zero baryon chemical potential and nonzero magnetic field. We build up a…
We consider a class of rotationally invariant unitary random matrix ensembles where the eigenvalue density falls off as an inverse power law. Under a new scaling appropriate for such power law densities (different from the scaling required…
