Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the QCD Dirac operator are studied for gauge field configurations given by a liquid of instantons. We find that for energy differences $\delta E$ below an energy scale $E_c$ the eigenvalue correlations are…
Lattice perturbation theory is discussed in the overlap formulation for the Yukawa and gauge interactions. One and two point functions are studied for fermion, scalar and gauge fields, taking the Standard Model as an example. The formulae…
When chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, the low-energy part of the Dirac operator spectrum can be computed analytically in the chiral limit. The tool is effective field theory or, equivalently in this case, Random Matrix Theory.
We present a comparison of different definitions of the topological charge on the lattice, using a small-volume ensemble with 2 flavours of dynamical twisted mass fermions. The investigated definitions are: index of the overlap Dirac…
