We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator for two colors with fermions in the fundamental representation and for two or more colors with adjoint fermions. For $N_f$ flavors, the chiral flavor symmetry of these theories is…

We study global distribution of zeros for a wide range of ensembles of random polynomials. Two main directions are related to almost sure limits of the zero counting measures, and to quantitative results on the expected number of zeros in…

When chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low-energy part of the Dirac operator spectrum can be computed analytically in the chiral limit. The tool is effective field theory or, equivalently in this case, Random Matrix Theory.

We have done a study of the zero-dimensional $\lambda\phi^{4}$ model. Firstly, we exhibit the partition function as a simple exact expression in terms of the Macdonald's function for $Re(\lambda)>0$. Secondly, an analytic continuation of…

In this lecture we discuss various aspects of QCD at nonzero chemical potential, including its phase diagram and the Dirac spectrum, and summarize what chiral random matrix theory has contributed to this subject. To illustrate the…

The fixed point Dirac operator on the lattice has exact chiral zero modes on topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations independently whether these configurations are smooth, or coarse. The relation $n_L-n_R = Q^{FP}$, where $n_L$…

Lattice QCD with Wilson quarks and a chirally twisted mass term represents a promising alternative regularization of QCD, which does not suffer from unphysical fermion zero modes. We show how the correlation functions of the renormalized…

We study the conditional distribution of zeros of a Gaussian system of random polynomials (and more generally, holomorphic sections), given that the polynomials or sections vanish at a point p (or a fixed finite set of points). The…

A chiral random matrix model with complex eigenvalues is solved as an effective model for QCD with non-vanishing chemical potential. We derive new matrix model correlation functions which predict the local fluctuations of complex Dirac…

The near-zero modes of the Dirac operator are connected to spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD (SBCS) via the Banks-Casher relation. At the same time the distribution of the near-zero modes is well described by the Random Matrix…

While it has been well-known that the chirality is an important symmetry for Dirac-fermion systems that gives rise to the zero-mode Landau level in graphene, here we explore whether this notion can be extended to tilted Dirac cones as…

We apply the probability distribution function method to the study of chiral properties of QCD with quarks in the exact massless limit. A relation among the chiral condensate, zeros of the Bessel function and eigenvalue of Dirac operator is…

We study Dirac operator zero-modes on a torus for gauge background with uniform field strengths. Under the basic translations of the torus coordinates the wave functions are subject to twisted periodic conditions. In a suitable torus…

Some exact relations for the spectral density $\rho(\lambda)$ of the Euclidean Dirac operator in $QCD$ are derived. They follow directly from the chiral symmetry of the $QCD$ lagrangian with massless quarks. New results are obtained both in…

Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the QCD Dirac operator are studied for an instanton liquid partition function. We find that for energy differences $\delta E$ below an energy scale $E_c$, identified as the Thouless energy, the eigenvalue…

The supersymmetric method is a powerful method for the evaluation of quenched averages in disordered systems. Among others, this method has been applied to the theory of S-matrix fluctuations, the theory of universal conductance…

We consider random analytic functions defined on the unit disk of the complex plane as power series such that the coefficients are i.i.d., complex valued random variables, with mean zero and unit variance. For the case of complex Gaussian…

We define a number of quark fragmentation functions for spin-0, -1/2 and -1 hadrons, and classify them according to their twist, spin and chirality. As an example of their applications, we use them to analyze semi-inclusive deep-inelastic…

We describe an explicit connection between solutions to equations $Df=0$ (the Generalized Cauchy-Riemann equation) and $(D+M)f=0$, where operators $D$ and $M$ commute. The described connection allows to construct a ``function theory'' (the…
