Lattice simulation of SU(2) gauge theory with chirally symmetric fermions

Abstract

We numerically study the SU(2) gauge theory with two dynamical flavors of the domain-wall fermions in fundamental representation. The meson spectra and the residual mass are measured on three lattice volumes and at two values of gauge coupling so as to investigate the finite volume effect. On generated configurations, eigenvalues of the overlap fermion operator are determined and compared to the random matrix theory. To quantify the effect of violation of the exact chiral symmetry, we measure the correlation between the eigenvectors of the domain-wall and the overlap operators.
