Instantons and Exceptional Configurations with the Clover Action
نویسنده
چکیده
We study exceptional modes of both the Wilson and the clover action in order to understand why quenched clover spectroscopy suffers so severely from exceptional configurations. We show that a large clover coefficient can make the exceptional modes extremely localized and thus very sensitive to short distance fluctuations. We contrast this with the case of the Wilson action where exceptional modes correspond to large instantons. These modes are broadly extended and suffer much less from discretization errors.

متن کاملOptimizing the Chiral Properties of Lattice Fermions
We describe a way to optimize the chiral behavior of Wilson-type lattice fermion actions by studying the low energy real eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. We find a candidate action, the clover action with fat links with a tuned clover term. The action shows good scaling behavior at Wilson gauge coupling β = 5.7. There is an increasing accumulation of evidence from lattice simulations that the ...

متن کاملScaling and Eigenmode Tests of the Improved Fat Clover Action
We test the scaling properties of a recently proposed improved lattice-fermion action, the fat link clover action, for lattice spacing a = 0.09 and 0.16 fm. The action scales as well as the conventional nonperturbatively improved clover action. Tests done at small quark mass on quenched lattices of lattice spacing 0.12 fm show that it has fewer problems with pathological lattice artifacts (“exc...
متن کاملLight quark simulations with FLIC fermions
Hadron masses are calculated in quenched lattice QCD in order to probe the scaling behavior of a novel fatlink clover fermion action in which only the irrelevant operators of the fermion action are constructed using APE-smeared links. Light quark masses corresponding to an mπ/mρ ratio of 0.35 are considered to assess the exceptional configuration problem of clover-fermion actions. This Fat-Link...
