چکیده
We present some arguments showing spectrum doubling of matrix models in the limit N → ∞ which is connected with fermionic determinant behaviour. The problems are similar to ones encountered in the lattice gauge theories with chiral fermions. One may discuss the “physical meaning” of the doubling states or ways to eliminate them. We briefly consider both situations.

Perturbation calculation of the axial anomaly of Ginsparg-Wilson fermion
We evaluate the axial anomaly for the general Ginsparg-Wilson fermion operator D = Dc(1I + RDc) −1 with R = r1I. For Dc in the free fermion limit is free of species doubling and behaves like iγμpμ as p → 0, the axial anomaly tr[γ5(RD)(x, x)] for U(1) lattice gauge theory with single fermion flavor is equal to e 2 32π2 ǫμνλσFμν(x)Fλσ(x) plus terms which are higher orders in Aμ and/or derivatives...

Using a regularisation of the chiral SU(2) Yang–Mills model by an infinite number of Pauli–Villars fields the doubler free gauge invariant lattice model is constructed. Its continuum limit provides the recently proposed mechanism for cancelation of Witten anomaly. Formulation a model containing chiral fermions on a lattice is a long standing problem due to the phenomenon of fermion doubling [1]...
متن کاملLattice Fermions and the Chiral Anomaly
We show in the Wilson model that the contribution of the regular mass term to the four-divergence of the axial vector current in weak coupling perturbation theory is not zero in the chiral limit and precisely is the axial anomaly. Explicit breaking of chiral symmetry in the Wilson term is not relevant for the result. The ABJ anomaly is generated by the fermion mass term also with a chirally sym...

In this letter we show that the overlap formulation of chiral gauge theories correctly reproduces the gravitational Lorentz anomaly in 2-dimensions. This formulation has been recently suggested as a solution to the fermion doubling problem on the lattice.The well known response to general coordinate transformations of the effective action of Weyl fermions coupled to gravity in 2-dimensions can ...

The SU (N f) L ⊗ SU (N f) R chiral symmetry of QCD is of central importance for the nonpertur-bative low-energy dynamics of light quarks and gluons. Lattice field theory provides a theoretical framework in which these dynamics can be studied from first principles. The implementation of chiral symmetry on the lattice is a nontrivial issue. In particular, local lattice fermion actions with the ch...
