摘要：Overlap fermions are a powerful tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of
the vacuum and the thermal states of QCD. We study various chiral and topological aspects of
the finite temperature phase transition of Nf = 2 flavours of O(a) improved Wilson fermions,
using valence overlap fermions as a probe. Particular emphasis is placed upon the analysis of the
spectral density and the localisation properties of the eigenmodes as well as on the local structure
of topological charge fluctuations in the vicinity of the chiral phase transition. The calculations
are done on 163×8 lattices generated by the DIK collaboration.
