For the test of subtra tion routines, the rst step was to expli tly ompute
the zero modes. The numberof zero modes in the free-eld ase is equal to
N c N d
, i.e. there are 12 zero modes in our ase of interest, 6 in the positiveand 6 in the negative hirality se tor.
steps:
1. Read in allzero modes.
2. Compute the propagator
Ψ 0
oming only from the zero modes, usingformula4.22,i.e. taking intoa ountthesour e. This sour ehastobe
exa tly the same asthe one used for fullinversion (with allmodes).
3. Compute (or read in, if omputed before) the full propagator
Ψ
(withall modes) with the same point sour e asinthe previous step.
4. Constru t the non-zero modes propagator
Ψ N = Ψ − Ψ 0
.5. Use the GWC ontra tion ode to ompute the PP and SS orrelation
fun tions from
Ψ N
. This gives the partC N N (t)
of these orrelators.The result for the orrelation fun tions with no ontribution from the zero
modes is:
