Individual complex Dirac eigenvalue distributions from random matrix theory and lattice QCD at nonzero chemical potential

We analyze how individual eigenvalues of the QCD Dirac operator at nonzero chemical potential are distributed in the complex plane. Exact and approximate analytical results for such distributions are derived from non-Hermitian random matrix theory. When comparing these to lattice QCD spectra close to the origin, excellent agreement is found for zero and nonzero topology at several values of the chemical potential. Our analytical results are also applicable to other physical systems in the same symmetry class.
