摘要
We study topological properties of SU(3) gauge theory using improved cooling. In the absence of fermions. we measure a topological susceptibility of (182(8) MeV)(4) and an instanton size similar to 0.6 fm. In the presence of light staggered fermions and across the chiral transition, the susceptibility drops in a manner consistent with the quenched case, and the instanton size changes little. No significant formation of bound instanton-antiinstanton pairs is observed, in particular not along the Euclidean time direction for T > T-c.
