In the continuum the definitions of the covariant Dirac operator and of the gauge covariant derivative operator are tightly intertwined. We point out that the naive discretization of the gauge covariant derivative operator is related to the existence of local unitary operators which allow the definition of a natural lattice gauge covariant derivative. The associated lattice Dirac operator has all the properties of the classical continuum Dirac operator, in particular antihermiticy and chiral invariance in the massless limit, but is of course non-local in accordance to the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem. We show that this lattice Dirac operator coincides in the limit of an infinite lattice volume with the naive gauge covariant generalization of the SLAC derivative, but contains non-trivial boundary terms for finite-size lattices. Its numerical complexity compares pretty well on finite lattices with smeared lattice Dirac operators.

Topological objects of $SU(3)$ gluodynamics are studied at the infrared scale near the transition temperature with the help of zero and near-zero modes of the overlap Dirac operator. We construct UV filtered topological charge densities corresponding to thr
We discuss the weak coupling expansion of lattice QCD with the overlap Dirac operator. The Feynman rules for lattice QCD with the overlap Dirac operator are derived and the quark self-energy and vacuum polarization are studied at the one-loop level. We confirm that their divergent parts agree with those in the continuum theory.
We investigate the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) on the lattice by directly measuring the product <Jmu Jnu> (where J is the vector current) and comparing it with the expectation values of bilinear operators. This will determine the Wilson coefficients in the OPE from lattice data, and so give an alternative to the conventional methods of renormalising lattice structure function calculations. It could also give us access to higher twist quantities such as the longitudinal structure function F_L = F_2 - 2 x F_1. We use overlap fermions because of their improved chiral properties, which reduces the number of possible operator mixing coefficients.
Starting from the chiral Lagrangian for Wilson fermions at nonzero lattice spacing we have obtained compact expressions for all spectral correlation functions of the Hermitian Wilson Dirac operator in the $epsilon$-domain of QCD with dynamical quarks. We have also obtained the distribution of the chiralities over the real eigenvalues of the Wilson Dirac operator for any number of flavors. All results have been derived for a fixed index of the Dirac operator. An important effect of dynamical quarks is that they completely suppress the inverse square root singularity in the spectral density of the Hermitian Wilson Dirac operator. The analytical results are given in terms of an integral over a diffusion kernel for which the square of the lattice spacing plays the role of time. This approach greatly simplifies the expressions which we here reduce to the evaluation of two-dimensional integrals.
We compute the overlap Dirac spectrum on three ensembles generated using 2+1 flavor domain wall fermions. The spectral density is determined up to $lambdasim$100 MeV with sub-percentage statistical uncertainty. The three ensembles have different lattice spacings and two of them have quark masses tuned to the physical point. We show that we can resolve the flavor content of the sea quarks and constrain their masses using the Dirac spectral density. We find that the density is close to a constant below $lambdale$ 20 MeV (but 10% higher than that in the 2-flavor chiral limit) as predicted by chiral perturbative theory ($chi$PT), and then increases linearly due to the strange quark mass. Using the next to leading order $chi$PT, one can extract the light and strange quark masses with $sim$20% uncertainties. Using the non-perturbative RI/MOM renormalization, we obtain the chiral condensates at $overline{textrm{MS}}$ 2 GeV as $Sigma=(260.3(0.7)(1.3)(0.7)(0.8) textrm{MeV})^3$ in the $N_f=2$ (keeping the strange quark mass at the physical point) chiral limit and $Sigma_0=(232.6(0.9)(1.2)(0.7)(0.8) textrm{MeV})^3$ in the $N_f=3$ chiral limit, where the four uncertainties come from the statistical fluctuation, renormalization constant, continuum extrapolation and lattice spacing determination. Note that {$Sigma/Sigma_0=1.40(2)(2)$ is much larger than 1} due to the strange quark mass effect.
