Vacuum structure as seen by overlap fermions
نویسنده
چکیده
Three complementary views on the QCD vacuum structure, all based on eigenmodes of the overlap operator, are reported in their interrelation: (i) spectral density, localization and chiral properties of the modes, (ii) the possibility of filtering the field strength with the aim to detect selfdual and antiselfdual domains and (iii) the various faces of the topological charge density, with and without a cutoff λcut = O(ΛQCD). The techniques are tested on quenched SU(3) configurations.

Feynman rules for the vacuum amplitude of fermions coupled to external gauge and Higgs fields in a domain wall lattice model are derived using time–dependent perturbation theory. They have a clear and simple structure corresponding to 1–loop vacuum graphs. Their continuum approximations are extracted by isolating the infrared singularities and it is shown that, in each order, they reduce to vac...
متن کاملProbing the chiral phase transition of N f = 2 clover fermions with valence overlap fermions
FOR THE DIK-COLLABORATION Overlap fermions are a powerful tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the vacuum and the thermal states of QCD. We study various chiral and topological aspects of the finite temperature phase transition of N f = 2 flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions, using valence overlap fermions as a probe. Particular emphasis is placed upon the analysi...

APE smearing and overlap-Dirac operator are combined to filter QCD vacuum configurations. The results obtained from overlap fermions and improved 5Li cooling are compared, both of them exhibit structures of dilute liquid of instanton. Finally the overlap fermions, improved 5Li cooling and APE smearing are combined to calculate the topological charge and identify the structure of QCD vacuum. The...

We investigate the correlation between the topological charge density and the small eigenvectors of the overlap Dirac operator on ensembles generated at four different quark masses using dynamical overlap fermions. We identify topological structures in the QCD vacuum, and by investigating their size, shape and topological charge, we determine that the small eigenvalues of the Dirac operator are...

The vacuum polarization due to chiral fermions on a 4–dimensional Euclidean lattice is calculated according to the overlap prescription. The fermions are coupled to weak and slowly varying background gauge and Higgs fields, and the polarization tensor is given by second order perturbation theory. In this order the overlap constitutes a gauge invariant regularization of the fermion vacuum amplit...
