Distribution of fermionic and topological observables on the lattice

Phys.Lett. B464 (1999) 272-278 We analyze the topological and fermionic vacuum structure of four-dimensional QCD on the lattice by means of correlators of fermionic observables and topological densities. We show the existence of strong local correlations between the topological charge and monopole density on the one side and the quark condensate, charge and chiral density on the other side. Visualization of individual gauge configurations demonstrates that instantons (antiinstantons) carry positive (negative) chirality, whereas the quark charge density fluctuates in sign within instantons.
