| Abstract | We study the difficulties associated with detecting chiral singularities predicted by chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) in lattice QCD. We focus on the physics of the remnant O(2) chiral symmetry of staggered fermions in the strong coupling limit using the recently discovered directed path algorithm. Since it is easier to look for power-like singularities as compared to logarithmic ones, our calculations are performed at a fixed finite temperature in the chirally broken phase. We show that the behavior of the chiral condensate, the pion mass and the pion decay constant, for small masses, are all consistent with the predictions of ChPT. However, the values of the quark masses that we need to demonstrate this are much smaller than those being used in dynamical QCD simulations. We also need to use higher order terms in the chiral expansion to fit our data. |
