Evidence that centre vortices underpin dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in SU(3) gauge theory

The link between dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and centre vortices in the gauge fields of pure SU(3) gauge theory is studied using the overlap-fermion quark propagator in Lattice QCD. Overlap fermions provide a lattice realisation of chiral symmetry and consequently offer a unique opportunity t...
