Abstract

The relation between center vortices and fractional topological charge has been studied in this work. Specifically, we investigate a vortex configuration with fractional topological charge analyzing the lowest modes of the adjoint Dirac operator in both overlap and staggered formulations. We discuss the effects leading to chiral symmetry breaking.
