2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/196990I describe an implementation of the overlap action, which is built from an action which is itself an approximate overlap action. It appears to be about a factor of 15-20 less expensive to use, than the usual overlap action with the Wilson fermion action as its kernel. Ingredients include a fat link to suppress coupling to dislocations and a free field action with a spectrum which resembles an overlap; much of the gain comes from the use of eigenmodes of the approximate action to begin the overlap calculation. As a physics example, I compute the quark condensate in finite volume in the quenched approximation.15 pages, Revtex, postscript figures.
