Finite volume QCD at fixed topological charge

Aoki, Sinya, Fukaya, Hidenori, Hashimoto, Shoji et al.

Understand

In finite volume the partition function of QCD with a given $\theta$ is a sum of different topological sectors with a weight primarily determined by the topological susceptibility.

  • If a physical observable is evaluated only in a fixed topological sector, the result deviates from the true expectation value by an amount proportional to the inverse space-time volume 1/V.
  • Using the saddle point expansion, we derive formulas to express the correction due to the fixed topological charge in terms of a 1/V expansion.
  • Applying this formula, we propose a class of methods to determine the topological susceptibility in QCD from various correlation functions calculated in a fixed topological sector.
