چکیده
The spatial discretization of the single-cone Dirac Hamiltonian on surface a topological insulator or superconductor needs special "staggered" grid, to avoid appearance spurious second cone in Brillouin zone. We adapt Stacey from lattice gauge theory produce generalized eigenvalue problem, form ${\mathcal H}\psi=E {\mathcal P}\psi$, with Hermitian tight-binding operators H}$, P}$, locally conserved particle current, and preserved chiral symplectic symmetries. This permits study spectral statistics fermions each four symmetry classes A, AII, AIII, D.

A lattice fermion without doubling
A free fermion without doubler is formulated on 1+D dimensional discrete Minkowski space-time. The action is not hermitian but causes no harm. In 1+3 dimensional massless case the equation describes a single species of Dirac particle in the continuous space-time limit. In 1+1 dimensional massless case the equation is the same as the automaton equation by ’t Hooft and describes a chiral fermion....
متن کاملThe rooting issue for a lattice fermion formulation similar to staggered fermions but without taste mixing
To investigate the viability of the 4th root trick for the staggered fermion determinant in a simpler setting, we consider a two taste (flavor) lattice fermion formulation with no taste mixing but with exact taste-nonsinglet chiral symmetries analogous to the taste-nonsinglet U(1)A symmetry of staggered fermions. Creutz’s objections to the rooting trick apply just as much in this setting. To co...
متن کاملDirac-Kähler fermions and exact lattice supersymmetry
We discuss a new approach to putting supersymmetric theories on the lattice. The basic idea is to start from a twisted formulation of the underlying supersymmetric theory in which the fermions are represented as grassmann valued antisymmetric tensor fields. The original supersymmetry algebra is replaced by a twisted algebra which contains a scalar nilpotent supercharge Q. Furthermore the action...
متن کاملChiral Dirac fermions on the lattice using Geometric Discretisation
The theorem of Nielsen and Ninomiya [3] came with a topological proof of the fact that under reasonable assumptions, fermion doubling is unavoidable on the lattice. A key element of the proof was the periodicity of the Brillouin zone thus setting the approach in momentum space. In other arguments [4], [5] it was argued that doubling is already present when one starts one step back and consider ...
متن کاملA solution to the fermion doubling problem for supersymmetric theories on the transverse lattice
Species doubling is a problem that infects most numerical methods that use a spatial lattice. An understanding of species doubling can be found in the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem which gives a set of conditions that require species doubling. The transverse lattice approach to solving field theories, which has at least one spatial lattice, fails one of the conditions of the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem...
