Description
We launched a project to perform dymanical fermion simulations using the overlap fermion formulation for sea quarks. In order to avoid the appearace of near-zero modes of the hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator $H_W$, we introduce a pair of extra Wilson fermions with a large negative mass term. Crossing of the topological boundary is then strictly prohibited, and the topological charge is conserved during simulations. It makes the simulations substantially faster compared to the algorithms which allow the topology change. We discuss on the finite volume effects due to the fixed global topology.
