Individual eigenvalue distributions for chGSE-chGUE crossover and determination of low-energy constants in two-color QCD+QED

Abstract

We compute statistical distributions of individual low-lying eigenvalues of random matrix ensembles interpolating chiral Gaussian symplectic and unitary ensembles. To this aim we use the Nystrom-type discretization of Fredholm Pfaffians and resolvents of the dynamical Bessel kernel containing a single crossover parameter ρ. The ρ-dependent distributions of the four smallest eigenvalues are then used to fit the Dirac spectra of modulated SU(2) lattice gauge theory, in which the reality of the staggered SU(2) Dirac operator is weakly violated either by the U(1) gauge field or by a constant background flux. Combined use of individual eigenvalue distributions is effective in reducing statistical errors in ρ; its linear dependence on the imaginary chemical potential μ_I enables precise determination of the pseudo-scalar decay constant F of the SU(2) gauge theory from a small lattice. The U(1)-coupling dependence of an equivalent of F^2 μ_I^2 in the SU(2) x U(1) theory is also obtained.
