We study the generating functional for the massless Schwinger model in the torus, at nonzero chemical potential and temperature. The lack of hermiticity of the Dirac operator yields a non-trivial phase in the effective action, which is a…
A family of theories which interpolate between vector and chiral Schwinger models is studied on the two--sphere $S^{2}$. The conflict between the loss of gauge invariance and global geometrical properties is solved by introducing a fixed…
The inverse eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in the Schwinger model satisfy the same Leutwyler-Smilga sum rules as in the case of QCD with one flavor. In this paper we give a microscopic derivation of these sum rules in the sector of…
We construct the gauge invariant fermion correlator in the Schwinger model on the torus. At zero temperature, this correlator falls off with a rate given by the Coulomb energy of an infinitely heavy charge. At high temperature, the…

We determine the reduced density matrix of chiral fermions on the torus, for an arbitrary set of disjoint intervals and generic torus modulus. We find the resolvent, which yields the modular Hamiltonian in each spin sector. Together with a…
Fermionic theories with a vanishing chiral condensate (in the chiral limit) have recently attracted considerable interest; in particular variants of multi-flavour QCD are candidates for this behaviour. Here we consider the 2-flavour…
The Schwinger model with $N_f \geq 2$ flavors is a simple example for a fermionic model with zero chiral condensate Sigma (in the chiral limit). We consider numerical data for two light flavors, based on simulations with dynamical chiral…
The Schwinger model is a model of a two-dimensional $U(1)$ gauge theory coupled to a Dirac fermion. It is an interesting model that exhibits phenomena like confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. In this paper, we study the massless…
A numerical investigation of the quenched Schwinger model on the lattice using the overlap Dirac operator points to a divergent chiral condensate.
We study the spectrum properties for a recently constructed fixed point lattice Dirac operator. We also consider the problem of the extraction of the fermion condensate, both by direct computation, and through the Banks-Casher formula by…
