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.…
