Lattice QCD at finite temperature: Evidence for calorons from the eigenvectors of the Dirac operator

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/202443We analyze the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the staggered Dirac operator in quenched lattice QCD in the vicinity of the deconfinement phase transition using the Lüscher-Weisz gauge action. The spectral and localization properties of the low-lying eigenmodes show characteristic differences between the Z_3 sectors above the critical temperature T_c. These findings can be interpreted in terms of calorons.Lattice2001(hightemp), 3 pages, 2 figuresHigh Energy Physics - LatticeLattice QCD at finite temperature: Evidence for calorons from the eigenvectors of the Dirac operatortext
