abstract

I propose a simple model of the distribution of the small eigenvalues of the QCD Dirac operator well above the finite temperature phase transition where chiral symmetry is restored and the spectral density at zero vanishes. Assuming the absence of correlations between different regions of the low lying spectrum I derive analytic formulas for the distribution of the first two eigenvalues. I find good agreement with data obtained using the overlap Dirac operator in quenched SU(2) lattice simulations. This suggests that if chiral symmetry is restored spectral correlations are not important and all the statistical properties of the spectrum are encoded in the spectral density.

  • Localization of Dirac modes in a finite temperature SU(2) Higgs model hep-lat · 2025-01-22 · conditional · none · ref 4 · internal anchor

    Dirac modes are localized in the Polyakov-loop ordered phases (deconfined and Higgs) of the finite-temperature SU(2)-Higgs model and delocalized in the confined phase, consistent with the sea/islands picture.
