We use a cooling algorithm based on an improved action with scale invariant instanton solutions, which needs no monitoring or calibration and has a inherent cut off for dislocations. We present results for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory where the…
We develop a cooling method controlled by a physical cooling radius that defines a scale below which fluctuations are smoothed out while leaving physics unchanged at all larger scales. We apply this method to study topological properties of…
We study the topological structure of the SU(2) vacuum at zero temperature: topological susceptibility, size, shape and distance distributions of the instantons. We use a cooling algorithm based on an improved action with scale invariant…
We present calculations of the size distribution of instantons in the 2d O(3) non-linear sigma-model, and briefly discuss the effects cooling has upon the configurations and the topological objects. (This preprint is also available via…
We aim at reducing the uncertainties inherent in the analysis of the topological structure by using scale controlled smoothing and observables independent on the "microscopic" description of the instanton ensemble.
Lattice artefacts are used, through modified lattice actions, as a tool to find the largest instantons in a toroidal geometry [0,L]^3X[0,T] for T to infinity. It is conjectured that the largest instanton is associated with tunnelling…
Based on the study of the simple Abelian Higgs model in $1+1$ dimensions we will present a new method to identify and localize extended instantons. The idea is to measure the topological charge on regions somewhat larger than the extended…
Gluodynamics and two-flavor QCD at non-zero temperature are studied with the so-called overimproved cooling technique under which caloron solutions may remain stable. We consider topological configurations either at the first occuring…
We investigate the distribution of instanton sizes in the framework of a simplified model for ensembles of instantons. This model takes into account the non-diluteness of instantons. The infrared problem for the integration over instanton…
In a previous paper \cite{Jahn:2018dke} we presented a methodology for computing the topological susceptibility of QCD at temperatures where it is small and standard methods fail. Here we improve on this methodology by removing two barriers…
Recent efforts in lattice evaluation of the topological susceptibility had shown that at high temperatures it is given by well-separated instantons (even in QCD with light fermions, where those are highly suppressed). Recent development of…
We investigate the distribution of instanton sizes in the framework of a simplified model for ensembles of instantons. This model takes into account the non-diluteness of instantons. The infrared problem for the integration over instanton…
We measure the topological susceptibility of quenched QCD on the lattice at two high temperatures. For this, we define topology with the help of gradient flow and mitigate the statistical problem of topology at high temperatures using a…
We study topological properties of SU(3) gauge theory using improved cooling. In the absence of fermions, we measure a topological susceptibility of $(182(8) MeV)^4$ and an instanton size $\sim 0.6$ fm. In the presence of light staggered…
We present results of an investigation into the nature of instantons in 4-dimensional pure gauge lattice $SU(2)$\ obtained from configurations which have been cooled using an under-relaxed cooling algorithm. We discuss ways of calibrating…
QCD topological susceptibility at high temperature, $\chi_t(T)$, provides an important input for the estimate of the axion abundance in the present Universe. While the model independent determination of $\chi_t(T)$ should be possible from…
We explore the stability of certain many-body quantum states which may exist at zero or finite temperatures, may lack long-range order and even topological order, and still are thermodynamically distinct from uncorrelated disordered phases.…
A new mechanism for suppression of the instanton density in the infrared is considered. This mechanism is based on the phenomenon of topological charge screening, which leads to an effective cutoff in the contribution of large instantons.
We introduce a reweighting technique which allows for a continuous sampling of temperatures in a single simulation and employ it to compute the temperature dependence of the QCD topological susceptibility at high temperatures. The method…
We study on the lattice the topology of SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills theories at zero temperature and of QCD at temperatures around the phase transition. To smooth out dislocations and the UV noise we cool the configurations with an action…
