Abstract

We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality for Nc = 2. According to a universality argument, it can be described by a random matrix theory with the chiral structure of QCD, but with real matrix elements. Using results derived by Mehta and Mahoux and Nagao and Wadati, we are able to obtain an analytical result for the microscopic spectral density that in turn is the generating function for Leutwyler-Smilga type spectral sum rules.
