Guidelines for interpreting finite-volume effects in QCD simulations

Abstract

Some key points out of my recent study of the characteristic features of the small ($x \ll 1$), intermediate ($x \simeq 1$) and large ($x \gg 1$) Leutwyler-Smilga regimes for QCD-type theories in a finite volume ($x = V \Sigma m$) are presented, and a few immediate consequences for full QCD simulations are discussed.
