Locality of the overlap-Dirac operator on topology-fixed gauge configurations

Abstract

We investigate the locality property of the overlap-Dirac operator on gauge configurations generated with extra Wilson fermions. By such extra terms we expect that the structure of the Aoki phase would change drastically. In particular, we study the possibility of defining the overlap-Dirac operator in the strong coupling regime keeping its exponential locality.
