Topology near the transition temperature in lattice gluodynamics analyzed by low lying modes of the overlap Dirac operator

Topological objects of $SU(3)$ gluodynamics are studied at the infrared scale near the transition temperature with the help of zero and near-zero modes of the overlap Dirac operator. We construct UV filtered topological charge densities corresponding to three versions of the temporal boundary condition applied to this operator, for which the zero mode is known to be located on corresponding three constituent dyons (antidyons) in the reference case of an analytical (anti)caloron solution. The clustering of the three topological charge densities marks the positions of three types of dyons and antidyons which can therefore be considered as present in equilibrium (Monte Carlo) gluonic fields at the given resolution scale. We classify them either as constituents of nondissociated (anti)calorons or as constituents of (anti)dyon pairs or as isolated (anti)dyons. The pattern of the Polyakov loop describing the centers and the interior of these clusters is observed after a limited number of overimproved cooling steps and resembles the description known from analytical caloron solutions.
