Se p 20 01 Families index theory for Overlap lattice Dirac operator

چکیده
The index bundle of the Overlap lattice Dirac operator over the orbit space of lattice gauge fields is introduced and studied. Obstructions to the vanishing of gauge anomalies in the Overlap formulation of lattice chiral gauge theory have a natural description in this context. Our main result is a formula for the topological charge (Pontryargin number) of the index bundle over evendimensional spheres in the orbit space. It reduces to the topological charge of the usual (continuum) index bundle in the classical continuum limit (this is announced and sketched here; the details will be given in a forthcoming paper). Thus we see that topology of the index bundle of the Dirac operator over the orbit space A/G0 can be captured in a finite-dimensional lattice setting.

We measure the low lying eigenmodes of an overlap Dirac operator on 2–flavor staggered configurations. By comparing the eigenmode distribution to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory we test to what accuracy staggered configurations describe continuum QCD. The agreement between the numerical data and RMT implies that at our quark mass values the lattice artifacts of the staggered configurati...
متن کاملAxial anomaly and topological charge in lattice gauge theory with overlap Dirac operator
A careful and detailed evaluation of the classical continuum limit of the axial anomaly/index density of the overlap Dirac operator is carried out in the infinite volume setting, and in a certain finite volume setting where the continuum limit involves an infinite volume limit. The correct continuum expression is reproduced when the parameter m0 is in the physical region 0 < m0 < 2. This is est...
