Topology and chiral symmetry in QCD with overlap fermions

Conference ·

The authors briefly review the overlap formalism for chiral gauge theories, the overlap Dirac operator for massless fermions and its connection to domain wall fermions. They describe properties of the overlap Dirac operator, and methods to implement it numerically. Finally, they give some examples of quenched calculations of chiral symmetry breaking and topology with overlap fermions.
