Description

We determine the role of topology from the eigenmodes, and extract the chiral condensate from the eigenvalue density of minimally doubled fermions (MDF), namely in Karsten-Wilczek (KW) and Borici-Creutz (BC) formulations. We employ MILC asqtad ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ dynamical flavors of quarks [1] as backgroud gauge fields. Using flavored mass terms [2,3], we find that the spectral flow of the eigenvalues correctly detects the topology of the background gauge field. The modified chiralities of the zero eigenmodes take the value $\approx0.9$. The non-zero eigenmodes have chiralities of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$ and form clusters of doublets. The chiral condensate extracted via the eigenvalue density using the Banks-Casher relation is compared to the direct calculation of the chiral condensate obtained by inverting the Dirac matrix.
