A quark-antiquark condensate in three-dimensional QCD

Abstract: Three-dimensional lattice QCD is studied by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. At zero temperature a quark-antiquark condensate is observed in the limit of vanishing quark masses. The condensate vanishes continuously at the finite-temperature deconfinement phase transition of the theory. A natural interpretation of this phenomenon in the full theory with dynamical quarks is in terms of the spontaneous flavor symmetry breakingIn addition, the spectrum of low-lying Dirac operator eigenval… Show more

“…For an odd number of flavors it has been argued that the pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking pattern is replaced by U (2N f +1) → U (N f +1)×U (N f ) [2]. This picture of spontaneous flavor symmetry breaking has been supported by recent Monte Carlo simulations [3].…”

“…First, in section 5, a small-mass series expansion of the resolvent of the QCD 3 Dirac operator is generated by means of Virasoro constraints on the finite volume QCD 3 partition function. As a by-product of this analysis we derive a series of spectral sum rules for the Dirac operator in QCD 3 . In section 6, we explore the (large-mass) saddle-point expansion of the resolvent, which turns out to truncate after a finite number of terms, and hence is exact.…”

“…Evidence for such a symmetry breaking pattern has been observed in 3D lattice simulations [18] with gauge group SU(3). This pattern of flavor symmetry breaking can also be predicted for 3D QCD at large N C using the ColemanWitten argument [19].…”

“…Actually some tests have been done in the past but they were not conclusive [7]. In this work we repeat quenched simulations of lattice QCD 3 lattice to the chiral random matrix prediction (blue dotted line) and the corresponding non-chiral random matrix prediction (green solid line).…”
