Title:
Local Topology, Dirac Eigenmodes, Non-Pearson Correlations and QCD Vacuum

Speaker:
Ivan Horvath

Abstract:
I discuss elements of a long-term effort to characterize QCD vacuum (and its thermal states) in a model-independent manner using lattice QCD. Local behavior of topological density and properties of (overlap) Dirac eigenmodes are given a particular attention. Regarding the latter, construction of non-Pearson correlations describing chiral polarization of modes will be covered in some detail, including the proposed equivalence between chiral symmetry breaking and condensation of local chirality defined accordingly.
