Abstract

In the large-volume limit $V \to \infty$ with $V << 1/ m_{I ¨} ^{4}$ the mass-dependent chiral condensate is predicted to satisfy exact finite-volume scaling laws that fall into three major universality classes. We test these analytical predictions with staggered fermions and overlap fermions in gauge field sectors of fixed topological charge $I^½$ .
