Chiral properties of two-flavor QCD in small volume and at large lattice spacing

الأصل · EN

We present results from simulations of two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions on 8⁴ lattices at three values of the sea quark mass and a lattice spacing of about 0.16 fm. We measure the topological susceptibility and the chiral condensate. A comparison of the low-lying spectrum of the overlap operator with predictions from random matrix theory is made. To demonstrate the effect of the dynamical fermions, we compare meson two-point functions with quenched results. Algorithmic improvements over a previous publication and the performance of the algorithm are discussed.
