Effects of low-lying fermion modes in the ǫ-regime

چکیده
We investigate the effects of low-lying fermion modes on the QCD partition function in the ǫ-regime. With the overlap Dirac operator we calculate several tens of low-lying fermion eigenvalues on the quenched lattice. By partially incorporating the fermion determinant through the truncated determinant approximation, we calculate the partition function and other related quantities for Nf = 1 and compare them with the theoretical predictions obtained by Leutwyler and Smilga.

Low-lying mode contribution to the quenched meson correlators in the ǫ-regime
We present a quenched calculation of meson correlators with the overlap fermion at very small masses 2.6–13 MeV. In this region the pion Compton wavelength is larger than our lattice size (L ≃ 1.23 fm) and the system is in the so-called ǫ-regime of chiral perturbation theory. We found that the scalar and pseudo-scalar correlators are precisely approximated by a few hundred low-lying fermion eig...
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 کاملObservations on the Wilson fermions in the ǫ regime
We make several observations concerning the low quark mass region with Wilson fermions and how this is connected with the ǫ regime in the continuum. A transition from tiny cutoff effects to rather large discretization errors would take place in general with Wilson fermions if we lower the quark mass at finite lattice spacing. We argue that these two regions exhibit rather different behaviours c...
متن کاملLattice QCD in the ǫ-regime and random matrix theory
In the ǫ-regime of QCD the main features of the spectrum of the low-lying eigenvalues of the (euclidean) Dirac operator are expected to be described by a certain universality class of random matrix models. In particular, the latter predict the joint statistical distribution of the individual eigenvalues in any topological sector of the theory. We compare some of these predictions with high-prec...
متن کاملLow-lying Dirac eigenmodes and monopoles in 3+1D compact QED
We study the properties of low-lying Dirac modes in quenched compact QED at β = 1.01, employing 12 ×Nt (Nt = 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) lattices and the overlap formalism for the fermion action. We pay attention to the spatial distributions of low-lying Dirac modes below/above the “phase transition temperature” Tc. Near-zero modes are found to have universal anticorrelations with monopole currents, and a...
