We calculate the large-volume and small-mass dependences of the quark condensate in quenched QCD using Neuberger's operator. We find good agreement with the predictions of quenched chiral perturbation theory, enabling a determination of the…
We show how to introduce a quark chemical potential in the overlap Dirac operator. The resulting operator satisfies a Ginsparg-Wilson relation and has exact zero modes. It is no longer gamma_5-hermitian, but its nonreal eigenvalues still…
In the continuum, a topological obstruction to the vanishing of the non-abelian anomaly in 2n dimensions is given by the index of a certain Dirac operator in 2n+2 dimensions, or equivalently, the index of a 2-parameter family of Dirac…
In the large N_c(number of colors) limit, quenched QCD and QCD are identical. This implies that, in the effective field theory framework, some of the low energy constants in (N_c=3) quenched QCD and QCD are the same up to higher-order…
We study the symmetry classes for the random Dirac fermions in 2 dimensions. We consider $N_f$ species of fermions, coupled by different types of disorder. We analyse the renormalisation group flow at the order of one loop. At $N_f$ large,…
Rational approximations of the matrix sign function lead to multishift methods. For non-Hermitian matrices long recurrences can cause storage problems, which can be circumvented with restarts. Together with deflation we obtain efficient…
We compare the low-lying eigenmodes of the O(a) improved Wilson-Dirac operator on quenched and dynamical configurations and investigate methods of probing the topological properties of gauge configurations
In order to develop fast inversion algorithms we have used overlap solvers in two dimensions. Lattice QED theory with U(1) group symmetry in two dimensional space-times dimensions has always been a testing ground for algorithms. By the…
We use nonperturbative lattice techniques to study the volume-reduced "Eguchi-Kawai" version of four-dimensional large-N QCD with a single adjoint Dirac fermion. We explore the phase diagram of this single-site theory in the space of quark…
The properties of the spectrum of the overlap Dirac operator and their relation to random matrix theory are studied. In particular, the predictions from chiral random matrix theory in topologically non-trivial gauge field sectors are…
The overlap lattice-Dirac operator contains the sign function $\epsilon (H)$. Recent practical implementations replace $\epsilon (H)$ by a ratio of polynomials, $H P_n (H^2)/Q_n (H^2)$, and require storage of $2n+2$ large vectors. Here I…
We present simulation results employing overlap fermions for the axial correlation functions in the epsilon-regime of chiral perturbation theory. In this regime, finite size effects and topology play a dominant role. Their description by…
In this work we consider the SU(N) gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in the limit of large N. Taking advantage of large N twisted volume reduction we do this on a single site lattice, but we should still…
The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…
On configurations with 2+1-flavor dynamical domain-wall fermions, we calculate the RI/(S)MOM renormalization constants (RC) of overlap quark bilinears. Hypercubic (HYP) smearing is used to construct the overlap Dirac operator. We…
We investigate the locality property of the overlap-Dirac operator on gauge configurations generated with extra Wilson fermions. By such extra terms we expect that the structure of the Aoki phase would change drastically. In particular, we…
Some key features of the overlap operator with a UV-filtered Wilson kernel are discussed. The first part concerns spectral properties of the underlying shifted hermitean Wilson operator and the relation to the observed speedup of the…
We consider the minimization problem with the truncated quadratic regularization with gradient operator, which is a nonsmooth and nonconvex problem. We cooperated the classical preconditioned iterations for linear equations into the…
Using overlap as well as Wilson fermions, we have computed the one-loop renormalization factors of ten non-singlet operators which measure the third moment of quark momentum and helicity distributions (the lowest two having been computed in…
An alternative to commonly used domain wall fermions is presented. Some rigorous bounds on the condition number of the associated linear problem are derived. On the basis of these bounds and some experimentation it is argued that domain…
