Gap in the Dirac spectrum and quark propagator symmetries in lattice QCD

Abstract

Recent studies on lattice QCD have shown the emergence of large symmetries at high temperature. This includes not only the restoration $SU(n_F{)}_L\times SU(n_F{)}_R$, but also the effective emergence of an unexpected symmetry group, namely $SU(2{)}_{CS}$, which contains $U(1{)}_A$ as subgroup. At the same time, at high $T$, a gap in Dirac spectrum appears. As it is argued in several works of \textit{L. Glozman et al.}, there should be a connection between a gap in the Dirac spectrum and the presence of $SU(2{)}_{CS}$.In this paper, we analyze whether the quark propagator can be invariant under $SU(n_F{)}_L\times SU(n_F{)}_R$ and $SU(2{)}_{CS}$ transformations, in case of a gap in the Dirac spectrum, and consequently the invariance of hadron correlators, giving the condition for a quark propagator to be invariant under $SU(2{)}_{CS}$.
