Symmetry Crossover Protecting Chirality in Dirac Spectra

Abstract

We consider a random matrix model in the hard edge limit (local spectral statistics at the origin in the limit of large matrix size) which interpolates between the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) and the chiral Gaussian unitary ensemble (chGUE). We show that this model is equivalent to the low-energy limit of certain QCD-like theories in the epsilon-regime. Moreover, we present a detailed derivation of the microscopic level density as well as the partially quenched and unquenched partition functions. Some of these results have been announced in a former letter by us. Our derivation relies on the supersymmetry method and is performed here step by step. Additionally, we compute the chiral condensate and the pion condensate for the quenched as well as unquenched settings. We also investigate the limits to GUE and chGUE and confirm our conjecture that the non-uniformity of the GUE limit would carry over to the hard edge limit.
