Applications of the Eigenmodes of the Staggered Dirac Operator [PDF]

Nucl.Phys.Proc.Suppl. 63 (1998) 826-828, 1997
We have constructed the lowest few eigenvectors of the staggered Dirac operator on SU(3) gauge configurations, both quenched and dynamical. We use these modes to study the topological charge and to construct approximate hadronic correlators.
