In this chapter of the Oxford Handbook of Random Matrix Theory we introduce chiral Random Matrix Theories with the global symmetries of QCD. In the microscopic domain, these theories reproduce the mass and chemical potential dependence of QCD. The main focus of this chapter is on the spectral properties of the QCD Dirac operator and relations between chiral Random Matrix Theories and chiral Lagrangians. Both spectra of the anti-hermitian Dirac operator and spectra of the nonhermitian Dirac operator at nonzero chemical potential are discussed.

We compute individual distributions of low-lying eigenvalues of massive chiral random matrix ensembles by the Nystrom-type quadrature method for evaluating the Fredholm determinant and Pfaffian that represent the analytic continuation of the Janossy densities (conditional gap probabilities). A compact formula for individual eigenvalue distributions suited for precise numerical evaluation by the Nystrom-type method is obtained in an explicit form, and the $k^{rm{small th}}$ smallest eigenvalue distributions are numerically evaluated for chiral unitary and symplectic ensembles in the microscopic limit. As an application of our result, the low-lying Dirac spectra of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with $N_F=8$ staggered flavors are fitted to the numerical prediction from the chiral symplectic ensemble, leading to a precise determination of the chiral condensateof a two-color QCD-like system in the future.
We study the correlation functions of Coulomb branch operators of four-dimensional $mathcal{N} = 2$ Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs). We focus on rank-one theories, such as the SU(2) gauge theory with four fundamental hypermultiplets. Extremal c orrelation functions, involving exactly one anti-chiral operator, are perhaps the simplest nontrivial correlation functions in four-dimensional Quantum Field Theory. We show that the large charge limit of extremal correlators is captured by a dual description which is a chiral random matrix model of the Wishart-Laguerre type. This gives an analytic handle on the physics in some particular excited states. In the limit of large random matrices we find the physics of a non-relativistic axion-dilaton effective theory. The random matrix model also admits a t Hooft expansion in which the matrix is taken to be large and simultaneously the coupling is taken to zero. This explains why the extremal correlators of SU(2) gauge theory obey a nontrivial double scaling limit in states of large charge. We give an exact solution for the first two orders in the t Hooft expansion of the random matrix model and compare with expectations from effective field theory, previous weak coupling results, and we analyze the non-perturbative terms in the strong t Hooft coupling limit. Finally, we apply the random matrix theory techniques to study extremal correlators in rank-1 Argyres-Douglas theories. We compare our results with effective field theory and with some available numerical bootstrap bounds.
We present some applications of central limit theorems on mesoscopic scales for random matrices. When combined with the recent theory of homogenization for Dyson Brownian Motion, this yields the universality of quantities which depend on the behavior of single eigenvalues of Wigner matrices and $beta$-ensembles. Among the results we obtain are the Gaussian fluctuations of single eigenvalues for Wigner matrices (without an assumption of 4 matching moments) and classical $beta$-ensembles ($beta=1, 2, 4$), Gaussian fluctuations of the eigenvalue counting function, and an asymptotic expansion up to order $o(N^{-1})$ for the expected value of eigenvalues in the bulk of the spectrum. The latter result solves a conjecture of Tao and Vu.
In this article, using the principles of Random Matrix Theory (RMT), we give a measure of quantum chaos by quantifying Spectral From Factor (SFF) appearing from the computation of two-point Out of Time Order Correlation function (OTOC) expressed in t erms of square of the commutator bracket of quantum operators which are separated in time. We also provide a strict model independent bound on the measure of quantum chaos, $-1/N(1-1/pi)leq {bf SFF}leq 0$ and $0leq {bf SFF}leq 1/pi N$, valid for thermal systems with a large and small number of degrees of freedom respectively. Based on the appropriate physical arguments we give a precise mathematical derivation to establish this alternative strict bound of quantum chaos.
We propose a random matrix theory for QCD in three dimensions with a Chern-Simons term at level $k$ which spontaneously breaks the flavor symmetry according to U($2N_{rm f}$) $to $ U($N_{rm f}+k$)$times$U($N_{rm f}-k$). This random matrix model is ob tained by adding a complex part to the action for the $k=0$ random matrix model. We derive the pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the analytical solution of the model. Additionally, we obtain explicit analytical results for the spectral density and the spectral correlation functions for the Dirac operator at finite matrix dimension, that become complex. In the microscopic domain where the matrix size tends to infinity, they are expected to be universal, and give an exact analytical prediction to the spectral properties of the Dirac operator in the presence of a Chern-Simons term. Here, we calculate the microscopic spectral density. It shows exponentially large (complex) oscillations which cancel the phase of the $k=0$ theory.
