Abstract

We present results of a quenched QCD simulation with overlap fermions on a lattice of volume V = 16 3 × 32 at β = 6.0, which corresponds to a lattice cutoff of ⋍ 2 GeV and an extension of ⋍ 1.4 fm. From the two-point correlation functions of bilinear operators we extract the pseudoscalar meson masses and the corresponding decay constants. From the GMOR relation we determine the chiral condensate and, by using the K-meson mass as experimental input, we compute the sum of the strange and average up-down quark masses ( m s + m ). The needed logarithmic divergent renormalization constant Z S is computed with the RI/MOM non-perturbative renormalization technique. Since the overlap preserves chiral symmetry at finite cutoff and volume, no divergent quark mass and chiral condensate additive renormalizations are required and the results are O ( a) improved.
