چکیده
We present preliminary results for a high statistics study of the topological charge distribution in the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory obtained by using the definition of the charge suggested by Neu-berger fermions. We find statistical evidence for deviations from a gaussian distribution. The large statistics required has been obtained by using PCs of the INFN-GRID.

متن کاملCorrelation of the Topological Charge in Pure SU ( 3 ) Gauge Theory and in QCD
We study the spatial correlator of the topological charge density operator in pure SU(3) gauge theory and in two flavor QCD. We show that the data for distances up to about 1 fm is consistent with a vacuum consisting of individual instantons and closely bound pairs. The percentage of paired objects is twice as large on the dynamical configurations than on the pure gauge ones, implying increased...
متن کاملPossible evidence for the mass shift of η’ meson at finite temperature
Topological charge distributions of SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperature are calculated on the lattice with high statistics in a manner of free from the uncertainty of β-function. Clear temperature dependence of the topological charge distribution is obtained. Combining the present result with the recent study about the relation between the masses of η meson system and the gauge field topol...
متن کاملSU(N) gauge theories in the presence of a topological term
We review recent results on the θ dependence of the ground-state energy and spectrum of four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories, where θ is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term FF̃ in the Lagrangian. In particular, we discuss the results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice formulation of QCD, which allow the investigation of θ dependence around θ = 0 by determining t...

We investigate SU(2) gauge fields topology using new approach, which exploits the well known connection between SU(2) gauge theory and quaternionic projective σ-models and allows to formulate the topological charge density entirely in terms of σ-model fields. The method is studied in details and for thermalized vacuum configurations is shown to be compatible with overlap-based definition. We co...
