We argue that the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality can be described by random matrix theory. As in the case of classical random matrix ensembles of Dyson we have three distinct classes: the chiral orthogonal ensemble…
In non-Hermitian random matrix theory there are three universality classes for local spectral correlations: the Ginibre class and the nonstandard classes $\mathrm{AI}^\dagger$ and $\mathrm{AII}^\dagger$. We show that the continuum Dirac…
We consider the parity-invariant Dirac operator with a mass term in three-dimensional QCD for $N_c=2$ and quarks in the fundamental representation. We show that there exists a basis in which the matrix elements of the Euclidean Dirac…
We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality for $N_c =2$. According to a universality argument, it can be described by a random matrix theory with the chiral structure of QCD, but with $real$ matrix elements. Using…
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…
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…
