The Topological susceptibility with dynamical overlap fermions
Nov, 2001Citations per year
Abstract:
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 D\urr. This indicates that at current lattice spacings the use of the index theorem might not be justified and the fermionic definition of the charge might be needed.- fermion: lattice field theory
