Local topological and chiral properties of QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

To elucidate the role played by instantons in chiral symmetry breaking, we explore their properties in full QCD, around the critical temperature. We study in particular spatial correlations between low-lying Dirac eigenmodes and instantons. Our measurements are compared with the predictions of instanton-based models.
