摘要:We investigate intersections of thick, plane center vortices, characterized by the topological charge |Q| = 1/2, and compare them with the distribution of zeromodes of the Dirac operator in the fundamental and adjoint representation using both the overlap and asqtad staggered fermion formulations in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find that Dirac zeromodes do not exactly locate topological charge contributions |Q| = 1/2 but are rather sensitive to Polyakov (Wilson) lines.†
