Abstract

We investigate the overlap operator with a UV filtered Wilson kernel. The filtering leads to a better localization of the operator even on coarse lattices and with the untuned choice . Furthermore, the axial-vector renormalization constant is much closer to 1, reducing the mismatch with perturbation theory. We show that all these features persist over a wide range of couplings and that the details of filtering prove immaterial. We investigate the properties of the kernel spectrum and find that the kernel non-normality is reduced. As a side effect we observe that for certain applications of the filtered overlap a speed-up factor of 2-4 can be achieved.
