We measure the mass by calculating the small eigenvalues of the hermitian domain-wall Dirac operator ($H_{\rm DWF}(m_0=1.8))$ in the topologically-nontrivial quenched SU(3) gauge configurations. We find that the induced quark mass is nearly independent of the physical volume, decays exponentially as a function of $L_s$, and has a strong dependence on the size of quantum fluctuations controlled by $β$. The effect of the choice of the lattice gluon action is also studied.Lattice 2000 (Chiral fermions), 4 pages, 5 figuresHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
