Topological susceptibility in (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with overlap fermion

Chiu, T. W., Aoki, S., Hashimoto, S. et al.

Understand

We determine the topological susceptibility \chi_t in the topologically-trivial sector generated by lattice simulations of N_f = 2+1 QCD with overlap Dirac fermion, on a 16^3 x 48 lattice with lattice spacing ~ 0.11 fm, for five sea quark masses m_q ranging from m_s/6 to m_s (where m_s is the physical strange quark mass).

  • The \chi_t is extracted from the plateau (at large time separation) of the 2-point and 4-point time-correlation functions of the flavor-singlet pseudoscalar meson \eta', which arises from the finite size effect due to fixed topology.
  • In the small m_q regime, our result of \chi_t agrees with the chiral effective theory.
  • Using the formula \chi_t = \Sigma(m_u^{-1} + m_d^{-1} + m_s^{-1})^{-1} by Leutwyler-Smilga, we obtain the chiral condensate \Sigma^{MSbar}(2 GeV) = [249(4)(2) MeV]^3.
