We propose a random matrix model that interpolates between the chiral random matrix ensembles and the chiral Poisson ensemble. By mapping this model on a non-interacting Fermi-gas we show that for energy differences less than a critical…

Four-dimensional chiral gauge theory can be formulated as the boundary theory on a five-dimensional manifold in a manner that may be realized on a finite lattice. There are interesting features of these theories which defy a purely…

We show that conventional asymmetric chiral random matrix models (ChRMM), with a gaussian distribution in the asymmetry, provide for a screening of the topological charge and a resolution of the $U(1)$ problem in the unquenched…

As was shown by Leutwyler and Smilga, the fact that chiral symmetry is broken and the existence of a effective finite volume partition function leads to an infinite number of sum rules for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in QCD. In…

Chiral random matrix theory makes very detailed predictions for the spectral correlations of the QCD Dirac operator, both in the bulk of the spectrum and near zero virtuality. These predictions have been successfully tested in lattice QCD…

We prove the universality of correlation functions of chiral complex matrix models in the microscopic limit (N->\infty, z->0, N z=fixed) which magnifies the crossover region around the origin of the eigenvalue distribution. The proof…

We revisit the concept of chiral disorder in QCD in the presence of a QED magnetic field |eH|. Weak magnetism corresponds to |eH| < 1/rho^2 with rho\approx (1/3) fm the vacuum instanton size, while strong magnetism the reverse. Asymptotics…

We introduce Random Matrix Models for the Hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator of QCD-like theories. We show that they are equivalent to the $\epsilon$-limit of the chiral Lagrangian for Wilson chiral perturbation theory. Results are obtained…
