Description

It is known that the deconfining transition of QCD is accompanied by the
appearance of localized eigenmodes at the low end of the Dirac spectrum. In
the quenched case localization appears exactly at the critical temperatura of
deconfinement. In the present work, using quenched simulations exactly at the
critical temperature we show that the localization properties of low Dirac
modes change abruptly between the confined and deconfined phase. Moreover, in
the deconfined phase localization occurs only in the real Polyakov loop
sector. We also speculate on the connection between this phenomenon and
fluctuations of the topological charge.
