Dirac mode localization in QCD near the crossover temperature

Matteo Giordano, Tamas G. Kovacs, Ferenc Pittler

We study the localization properties of the low-lying Dirac eigenmodes in QCD near the crossover temperature, using stout-smeared staggered fermions and Symanzik-improved gauge act…

QCD thermodynamics with dynamical chiral fermions

Z. Fodor, A. Yu. Kotov, T. G. Kovacs +1

We discuss properties of thermal Quantum Chromodynamics obtained by means of lattice simulations with overlap fermions. This fermion discretisation preserves chiral symmetry at fin…

Breaking in Hot QCD in the Chiral Limit

Tamas G. Kovacs

We propose a simple instanton-based random matrix model of hot QCD that in the quenched case precisely reproduces the distribution of the lowest lattice overlap Dirac eigenvalues.…

High temperature breaking in the chiral limit

Tamas G. Kovacs

We solve the long-standing problem concerning the fate of the chiral symmetry in QCD-like theories at high temperature in the chiral limit. We introduce a simple instanton…

Fate of Chiral Symmetries in the Quark-Gluon Plasma from an Instanton-Based Random Matrix Model of QCD

Tamas G. Kovacs

We propose a new way of understanding how chiral symmetry is realized in the high temperature phase of QCD. Based on the finding that a simple free instanton gas precisely describe…

Landau levels in QCD

F. Bruckmann, G. Endrodi, M. Giordano +4

We present first evidence for the Landau level structure of Dirac eigenmodes in full QCD for nonzero background magnetic fields, based on first principles lattice simulations using…
