Topological susceptibility in lattice Yang-Mills theory with open boundary condition
Topological susceptibility in lattice Yang-Mills theory with open boundary condition
We find that using open boundary condition in the temporal direction can yield the expected value of the topological susceptibility in lattice SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. As a further check, we show that the result agrees with numerical simulations employing the periodic boundary condition. Our results support the preferability of the …
