Unquenching the Topological Susceptibility with an Overlap Action
نویسنده
چکیده
We estimate the quark-mass dependence of the topological susceptibility with dynamical overlap and clover fermions. Unquenching effects on the susceptibility turn out to be well approximated by a reweighting of a quenched ensemble with a low-eigenmode truncation of the fermionic determinant. We find that it is most likely due to the explicit chiral symmetry breaking of the fermion action that present day dynamical simulations do not show the expected suppression of the topological susceptibility.

Topological susceptibility from the overlap
The chiral symmetry at finite lattice spacing of Ginsparg-Wilson fermionic actions constrains the renormalization of the lattice operators; in particular, the topological susceptibility does not require any renormalization, when using a fermionic estimator to define the topological charge. Therefore, the overlap formalism appears as an appealing candidate to study the continuum limit of the top...
متن کاملThe Overlap Formalism and Topological Susceptibility on the Lattice ∗
Two recent methods[1,2] for measuring the topological susceptibility, χt = 〈Q〉 V , in pure SU(2) gauge theory using the lattice regularization are considered to be in disagreement. In one method[1], the gauge fields are smoothed with an improved cooling technique while the topological charge Q is calculated using a lattice discretization. In the other method[2], inverse-blocking is employed to ...
متن کاملDynamical overlap fermions: simulation and physics results
We summarize our recent investigations of lattice QCD with dynamical overlap fermions. We sketch algorithmic issues and our approach to solving them. We show our measurement of the topological susceptibility. We describe a computation of the chiral condensate using an analysis of the distribution of eigenmodes of the Dirac operator and Random Matrix Theory.
متن کاملTowards the Topological Susceptibility with Overlap Fermions
Using a reweighting technique combined with a low-mode truncation of the fermionic determinant, we estimate the quark-mass dependence of the QCD topological susceptibility with overlap fermions. In contrast to previous lattice simulations which all used non-chiral fermions, our results appear to be consistent with the simple continuum model of Dürr. This indicates that at current lattice spacin...
متن کاملLocality and topology with fat link overlap actions
We study the locality and topological properties of fat link clover overlap (FCO) actions. We find that a small amount of fattening (2-4 steps of APE or 1 step of HYP) already results in greatly improved properties compared to the Wilson overlap (WO). We present a detailed study of the localisation of the FCO and its connection to the density of low modes of AA. In contrast to the Wilson overla...
