θ Vacuum in a Random Matrix Model
Abstract
Inspired by recent lattice calculations, we model certain aspects of the θ-vacuum using a matrix model with gaussian weights. The vacuum energy exhibits a cusp at θ <π that is sensitive to both the accuracy of the numerical analysis and the maximum density of winding modes present in a finite volume.
