Description

The IR phase of thermal QCD is characterized, among other things, by power singularity of Dirac spectral density at zero (power near -1), and by an unusual pattern of IR spatial dimensions. The first aspect has also been proposed for density of states in chiral orthogonal Anderson models with off-diagonal logarithmic disorder. Here we identify the root cause and the precise form of that similarity, and investigate whether the likeness also extends to the associated dimensional structures.
