Properties of near - zero modes and chiral symmetry breaking
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study localization and chirality properties of eigenvectors of the lattice Dirac operator. In particular we focus on the dependence of our observables on the size of the corresponding eigenvalue, which allows us to study the transition of a near-zero mode into a bulk mode. We analyze ensembles of quenched SU(3) configurations using a Dirac operator which is a systematic expansion in path length of a solution of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation. Our results support the interpretation of the excitations relevant for chiral symmetry breaking as interacting instantons and anti-instantons.

The importance of the spectral density of the Dirac operator in studying spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and anomalous U(1)A symmetry breaking are reviewed. It is shown that both types of symmetry breaking can be traced to effects of modes near zero virtuality. Above Tc, where chiral symmetry is restored, it is shown on general grounds that (in the mq → 0 limit), the density of states vani...

We investigate spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in SU(N) gauge theories at large N using overlap fermions. The exact zero modes and the low-lying modes of the Dirac operator provide the tools to gain insight into the interplay between chiral symmetry breaking and topology. We find that topology indeed drives chiral symmetry breaking at N = 3 as well as at large N. By comparing the results o...
متن کاملTopology and Low Lying Fermion Modes
Low lying fermionic modes are believed to play an important rôle in QCD. This review covers some of the recent developments in the study of the relationship of low lying fermion modes with topology in QCD. The study of topology in general is not covered here. In particular, fermionic eigenmodes (including zero modes) are important in 3 areas discussed here: (1) low lying modes in particle spect...
متن کاملGluino Condensation in an Interacting Instanton Ensemble
We perform a semi-classical study of chiral symmetry breaking and of the spectrum of the Dirac operator in QCD with adjoint fermions. For this purpose we calculate matrix elements of the adjoint Dirac operator between instanton zero modes and study their symmetry properties. We present simulations of the instanton ensemble for different numbers of Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation...
