Random-matrix theories in quantum physics: common concepts

T Guhr, A Müller–Groeling, HA Weidenmüller - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

Random matrix theory and chiral symmetry in QCD

JJM Verbaarschot, T Wettig - Annual Review of Nuclear and …, 2000 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Random matrix theory is a powerful way to describe universal correlations of
eigenvalues of complex systems. It also may serve as a schematic model for disorder in …

Phase diagram of QCD

MA Halasz, AD Jackson, RE Shrock, MA Stephanov… - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
We analyze the phase diagram of QCD with two massless quark flavors in the space of
temperature T and chemical potential of the baryon charge μ using available experimental …

From chiral random matrix theory to chiral perturbation theory

JC Osborn, D Toublan, JJM Verbaarschot - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator by means of the valence quark mass
dependence of the chiral condensate in partially quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory …

The microscopic spectral density of the QCD Dirac operator

PH Damgaard, JC Osborn, D Toublan… - Nuclear Physics B, 1999 - Elsevier
We derive the microscopic spectral density of the Dirac operator in SU (Nc⩾ 3) Yang-Mills
theory coupled to Nf fermions in the fundamental representation. An essential technical …

Negative moments of characteristic polynomials of random matrices: Ingham–Siegel integral as an alternative to Hubbard–Stratonovich transformation

YV Fyodorov - Nuclear Physics B, 2002 - Elsevier
We reconsider the problem of calculating arbitrary negative integer moments of the
(regularised) characteristic polynomial for N× N random matrices taken from the Gaussian …

Modeling finite-volume effects and chiral symmetry breaking in two-flavor QCD thermodynamics

B Klein - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
Finite-volume effects in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) have been a subject of much
theoretical interest for more than two decades. They are in particular important for the …

Character expansions, Itzykson-Zuber integrals, and the QCD partition function

AB Balantekin - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
A combinatorial formula to generate U (N) character expansions is presented. It is shown
that the resulting character expansion formulas greatly simplify a number of problems where …

[HTML][HTML] Unquenched QCD Dirac operator spectra at nonzero baryon chemical potential

G Akemann, JC Osborn, K Splittorff, JJM Verbaarschot - Nuclear Physics B, 2005 - Elsevier
The microscopic spectral density of the QCD Dirac operator at nonzero baryon chemical
potential for an arbitrary number of quark flavors was derived recently from a random matrix …

Factorization of correlation functions and the replica limit of the Toda lattice equation

K Splittorff, JJM Verbaarschot - Nuclear Physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
Exact microscopic spectral correlation functions are derived by means of the replica limit of
the Toda lattice equation. We consider both Hermitian and non-Hermitian theories in the …
