Random Matrix Theory and Dirac Spectrum at Nonzero Temperature and Density

Bernd A. Berg, Harald Markum, Rainer Pullirsch +1

We investigate the eigenvalue spectrum of the staggered Dirac matrix in SU(3) gauge theory and in full QCD as well as in quenched U(1) theory on various lattice sizes. As a measure…

First experiences with HMC for dynamical overlap fermions

Achim Bode, Urs M. Heller, Robert G. Edwards +1

We describe an HMC algorithm for dynamical overlap fermions which makes use of their good chiral properties. We test the algorithm in the Schwinger model. Topological sectors are r…

Topology and Chiral Symmetry in QCD with Overlap Fermions

Robert G. Edwards, Urs M. Heller, Joe Kiskis +1

We briefly review the overlap formalism for chiral gauge theories, the overlap Dirac operator for massless fermions and its connection to domain wall fermions. We describe properti…

Scaling tests of the improved Kogut-Susskind quark action

The MILC collaboration, C. Bernard, T. Burch +8

Improved lattice actions for Kogut-Susskind quarks have been shown to improve rotational symmetry and flavor symmetry. In this work we find improved scaling behavior of the rho and…

Two Loop Computation of the Schroedinger Functional in Lattice QCD

Achim Bode, Peter Weisz, Ulli Wolff

We compute the Schroedinger functional (SF) for the case of lattice QCD with Wilson fermions (with and without SW improvement) at two-loop order in lattice perturbation theory. Thi…

Chiral Condensate in the Deconfined Phase of Quenched Gauge Theories

Robert G. Edwards, Urs M. Heller, Joe Kiskis +1

We compute the low lying spectrum of the overlap Dirac operator in the deconfined phase of finite-temperature quenched gauge theory. It suggests the existence of a chiral condensat…

First Signs for String Breaking in Two-Flavor QCD

Carleton DeTar, Urs Heller, Pierre Lacock

We have been examining the phenomenon of string breaking in QCD with two flavors of dynamical staggered quarks. We construct a transfer matrix from a combination of ``string'' and…

Looking for Effects of Topology in the Dirac Spectrum of Staggered Fermions

P. H. Damgaard, U. M. Heller, R. Niclasen +1

We classify SU(3) gauge field configurations in different topological sectors by the smearing technique. In each sector we compute the distribution of low lying eigenvalues of the…
