We discuss how theexpansion and the chiral random matrix theory () can be used in the study of large-gauge theories. We first clarify the parameter region in which each of these two approaches is valid. While the fermion massis fixed in the standard large-arguments (’t Hooft large-limit),must be scaled appropriately with a certain negative power ofin order for the gauge theories to be described by the. Then, although these two limits are not compatible in general, we show that the breakdown of chiral symmetry can be detected by combining the large-argument and thewith some care. As a concrete example, we numerically study the four-dimensionalgauge theory withheavy adjoint fermions, introduced as the center symmetry preserver keeping the infrared physics intact, on alattice. By looking at the low-lying eigenvalues of the overlap-Dirac operator for a massless probe fermion in the adjoint representation, we find that the chiral symmetry is indeed broken with the expected breaking pattern. This result reproduces a well-known fact that the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the puregauge theory in the large-and the large-volume limit and therefore supports the validity of the combined approach. We also provide an interpretation of the gap and unexpectedscaling, both of which are observed in the Dirac spectrum.
