Spectra of massive and massless QCD dirac operators: A novel link
We show that integrable structure of chiral random matrix models incorporating global symmetries of QCD Dirac operators (labeled by the Dyson index beta = 1,2, and 4) leads to emergence of a connection relation between the spectral statistics of massive and massless Dirac operators. This novel link established for beta-fold degenerate massive fermions is used to explicitly derive (and prove the random matrix universality of) statistics of low-lying spectra of QCD Dirac operators in the presence of SU(2) massive fermions in the fundamental representation ( beta = 1) and SU(N(c)>/=2) massive adjoint fermions ( beta = 4). Comparison with available lattice data for SU(2) dynamical staggered fermions reveals a good agreement.
