We investigate the effects of low-lying fermion eigenmodes on the QCD partition function in the $epsilon$-regime. The fermion determinant is approximated by a truncated product of low-lying eigenvalues of the overlap-Dirac operator. With two flavors of dynamical quarks, we observe that the lattice results for the lowest eigenvalue distribution, eigenvalue sum rules and partition function reproduce the analytic predictions made by Leutwyler and Smilga, which strongly depend on the topological charge of the background gauge configuration. The value of chiral condensate extracted from these measurements are consistent with each other. For one dynamical quark flavor, on the other hand, we find an apparent disagreement among different determinations of the chiral condensate, which may suggest the failure of the $epsilon$-expansion in the absence of massless Nambu-Goldstone boson.

We investigate the effects of low-lying fermion modes on the QCD partition function in the epsilon-regime. With the overlap Dirac operator we calculate several tens of low-lying fermion eigenvalues on the quenched lattice. By partially incorporating the fermion determinant through the truncated determinant approximation, we calculate the partition function and other related quantities for Nf = 1 and compare them with the theoretical predictions obtained by Leutwyler and Smilga.
The positive-parity nucleon spectrum is explored in $2 + 1$-flavour lattice QCD in a search for new low-lying energy eigenstates near the energy regime of the Roper resonance. In addition to conventional three-quark operators, we consider novel, loca l five-quark meson-baryon type interpolating fields that hold the promise to reveal new eigenstates that may have been missed in previous analyses. Drawing on phenomenological insight, five-quark operators based on $sigma{N}$, $pi{N}$ and $a_0{N}$ channels are constructed. Spectra are produced in a high-statistics analysis on the PACS-CS dynamical gauge-field configurations with $m_{pi} = 411textrm{ MeV}$ via variational analyses of several operator combinations. Despite the introduction of qualitatively different interpolating fields, no new states are observed in the energy regime of the Roper resonance. This result provides further evidence that the low-lying finite-volume scattering states are not localised, and strengthens the interpretation of the Roper as a coupled-channel, dynamically-generated meson-baryon resonance.
We present simulation results for lattice QCD with chiral fermions in small volumes, where the epsilon-expansion of chiral perturbation theory applies. Our data for the low lying Dirac eigenvalues, as well as mesonic correlation functions, are in agr eement with analytical predictions. This allows us to extract values for the leading Low Energy Constants F_{pi} and Sigma.
We compute the low-lying spectrum of the staggered Dirac operator above and below the finite temperature phase transition in both quenched QCD and in dynamical four flavor QCD. In both cases we find, in the high temperature phase, a density with clos e to square root behavior, $rho(lambda) sim (lambda-lambda_0)^{1/2}$. In the quenched simulations we find, in addition, a volume independent tail of small eigenvalues extending down to zero. In the dynamical simulations we also find a tail, decreasing with decreasing mass, at the small end of the spectrum. However, the tail falls off quite quickly and does not seem to extend to zero at these couplings. We find that the distribution of the smallest Dirac operator eigenvalues provides an efficient observable for an accurate determination of the location of the chiral phase transition, as first suggested by Jackson and Verbaarschot.
We generated configurations with the parametrized fixed-point Dirac operator D_{FP} on a (1.6 fm)^4 box at a lattice spacing a=0.13 fm. We compare the distributions of the three lowest k=1,2,3 eigenvalues in the nu= 0,1,2 topological sectors with tha t of the Random Matrix Theory predictions. The ratios of expectation values of the lowest eigenvalues and the cumulative eigenvalue distributions are studied for all combinations of k and nu. After including the finite size correction from one-loop chiral perturbation theory we obtained for the chiral condensate in the MSbar scheme Sigma(2GeV)^{1/3}=0.239(11) GeV, where the error is statistical only.
