We use the recently proposed directed-path algorithm to study the chiral limit of strongly coupled lattice QCD with staggered quarks at finite temperatures. The new algorithm allows us to compute the chiral susceptibility and the pion decay…
In these lectures I review some basic examples of how the concepts of universality and scaling can be used to study aspects of the chiral and the deconfinement transition, if not in QCD directly but in QCD-like theories. As an example for…

Random matrix theory has proven very successful in the understanding of the spectra of chaotic systems. Depending on symmetry with respect to time reversal and the presence or absence of a spin 1/2 there are three ensembles, the Gaussian…

Recently, QCD Dirac spectra have been obtained for reasonably large lattices. We argue that correlations of these spectra are universal and can be obtained from a random matrix model with the global symmetries of QCD. Analytical arguments…
In the last century the non-perturbative regularization of chiral fermions was a long-standing problem. We review how this problem was finally overcome by the formulation of a modified but exact form of chiral symmetry on the lattice. This…

In the large-Nc limit of QCD, the chiral expansion of the vacuum polarization at low energies determines the whole function at any arbitrarily large (but finite) energy. This result is an immediate consequence of the Theory of Pade…
Theory of Random Matrix Ensembles have proven to be a useful tool in the study of the statistical distribution of energy or transmission levels of a wide variety of physical systems. We give an overview of certain q-generalizations of the…
The class of generalized gamma convolutions (GGC) is closed with respect to (wrt) change of scales, weak limits and addition and multiplication of independent random variables. Our main result adds the new property that GGC is also closed…
Generalized parton distributions provide a unified parameterization of hadron structure and allow one to combine information from many different observables. Lattice QCD calculations already provide important input to determine these…
In the paper [25], written in collaboration with Gesine Reinert, we proved a universality principle for the Gaussian Wiener chaos. In the present work, we aim at providing an original example of application of this principle in the…
It is shown that generalized CDT, the two-dimensional theory of quantum gravity, constructed as a scaling limit from so-called causal dynamical triangulations, can be obtained from a cubic matrix model. It involves taking a new scaling…
We discuss chiral symmetry breaking critical points from the perspective of PCAC, correlation length scaling and the chiral equation of state. A scaling theory for the ratio $R_\pi$ of the pion to sigma masses is presented. The Goldstone…

We reveal that the universal scaling properties of the chiral phase transition in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at the macroscale are, in fact, encoded within the microscopic energy levels of its fundamental constituents, the quarks. We…
