Finite-Volume Scaling of the Quenched Chiral Condensate

Abstract

In the large-volume limit $V\to \infty$ with $V<<1/m_{\pi }^4$ the mass-dependent chiral condensate is predicted to satisfy exact finite-volume scaling laws that fall into three major universality classes. We test these analytical predictions with staggered fermions and overlap fermions in gauge field sectors of fixed topological charge $\nu$.
