We construct a random matrix model that, in the large $N$ limit, reduces to the low energy limit of the QCD partition function put forward by Leutwyler and Smilga. This equivalence holds for an arbitrary number of flavors and any value of…

It was established that distribution of the near-zero modes of the Dirac operator is consistent with the Chiral Random Matrix Theory (CRMT) and can be considered as a consequence of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry (SBCS) in QCD. The…

QCD in the $\epsilon$-regime at nonzero baryon chemical potential $\mu$ is reviewed. The focus is on aspects of the sign problem which are relevant for lattice QCD. It is discussed how spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and the sign…

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…
