Query: Staggered Fermions and Gauge Field Topology   Based on a large number of smearing steps, we classify SU(3) gauge field
configurations in different topological sectors. For each sector we compare the
exact analytical predictions for the microscopic Dirac operator spectrum of
quenched staggered fermions. In all sectors we find perfect agreement with the
predictions for the sector of topological charge zero, showing explicitly that
the smallest Dirac operator eigenvalues of staggered fermions at presently
realistic lattice couplings are insensitive to gauge field topology. On the
smeared configurations, $4\nu$ eigenvalues clearly separate out from the rest
on configurations of topological charge $\nu$, and move towards zero in
agreement with the index theorem.
