The topological susceptibility in the large-N limit of SU(N) Yang–Mills theory

We compute the topological susceptibility of the SU(N) Yang–Mills theory in the large-N limit with a percent level accuracy. This is achieved by measuring the gradient-flow definition of the susceptibility at three values of the lattice spacing for N=3,4,5,6. Thanks to this coverage of parameter spa...
