A bstractWe consider bosonic random matrix partition functions at nonzero chemical potential and compare the chiral condensate, the baryon number density and the baryon number susceptibility to the result of the corresponding fermionic partition function. We find that as long as results are finite, the phase transition of the fermionic theory persists in the bosonic theory. However, in case that the bosonic partition function diverges and has to be regularized, the phase transition of the…

Topology and chiral random matrix theory at nonzero imaginary chemical potential
We study the effect of topology for a random matrix model of QCD at nonzero imaginary chemical potential or nonzero temperature. Nonuniversal fluctuations of Dirac eigenvalues lead to normalization…

Divergent chiral condensate in the quenched Schwinger model
We calculate numerically the eigenvalue distribution of the overlap Dirac operator in the quenched Schwinger model on a lattice. The distribution does not fit any of the three universality classes of…
Fermion determinants in matrix models of QCD at nonzero chemical potential
The presence of a chemical potential completely changes the analytical structure of the QCD partition function. In particular, the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator are distributed over a finite area…
The chiral condensate from the Dirac spectrum in BSM gauge theories
The eigenvalues of the Dirac operator at finite volume encode whether or not chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in a massless theory. We apply this framework in a particular BSM context, namely…
Features of a 2d gauge theory with vanishing chiral condensate
The Schwinger model with Nf ≥ 2 flavors is a simple example for a fermionic model with zero chiral condensate Σ (in the chiral limit). We consider numerical data for two light flavors, based on…
QCD at finite isospin density.
TLDR
The results imply a nontrivial phase diagram in the space of temperature and chemical potentials of isospin and baryon number, which leads to conjecture that the transition from hadron to quark matter is smooth, which passes several tests.
Imaginary chemical potential and finite fermion density on the lattice
Standard lattice fermion algorithms run into the well-known sign problem at real chemical potential. In this paper we investigate the possibility of using imaginary chemical potential, and argue that…
Equivalence of QCD in the epsilon-regime and chiral Random Matrix Theory with or without chemical potential
We prove that QCD in the epsilon-regime of chiral Perturbation Theory is equivalent to chiral Random Matrix Theory for zero and both non-zero real and imaginary chemical potential mu. To this aim we…
