Finite-volume analysis of N_f-induced chiral phase transitions
Sebastien Descotes, Jan Stern
In the framework of Euclidean QCD on a torus, we study the spectrum of the Dirac operator through inverse moments of its eigenvalues, averaged over topological sets of gluonic conf…

Paramagnetic effect of light quark loops on Chiral Symmetry Breaking
Sebastien Descotes, Luca Girlanda, Jan Stern
We argue that light quark loops produce a paramagnetic suppression of infrared-sensitive order parameters such as <qq>, as the number N_f of light fermions increases. The possibly…
