Massless Majorana fermion on the domain wall
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the domain-wall formalism with additional Majorana mass term for the unwanted zero mode, which has recently been proposed for lattice construction of 4D N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory without fine-tuning. Switching off the gauge field, we study the dispersion relation of the energy eigenstates numerically, and find that the method works for reasonable values of Majorana mass. We point out, however, that a problem arises for too large Majorana mass, which can be understood in terms of the seesaw mechanism.

Single massless Majorana fermion in the domain-wall formalism
We study the domain-wall formalism with additional Majorana mass term for the unwanted zero mode, which has recently been proposed for lattice construction of 4DN = 1 super Yang-Mills theory without ne-tuning. Switching o the gauge eld, we study the dispersion relation of the energy eigenstates numerically, and nd that the method works for reasonable values of Majorana mass. We point out, howev...
متن کاملMassless Majorana and Weyl fermions cannot be distinguished
In this note, I will demonstrate that a theory of a massless neutrino (in 3+1-dimensional quantum field theory) can be described either as a theory of a massless Weyl fermion or as a theory of a massless four-component Majorana fermion. The two formulations are indistinguishable, as they arise from exactly the same Lagrangian when expressed in terms of two-component fermions. I will also exhibi...
متن کاملF eb 2 00 0 IJS . TP . 00 / 1 The MAJORANA PARTICLES and the MAJORANA SEA NORMA
Can one make a Majorana field theory for fermions starting from the zero mass Weyl theory, then adding a mass term as an interaction? The answer to this question is: yes we can. We can proceed similarly to the case of the Dirac massive field theory[1]. In both cases one can start from the zero mass Weyl theory and then add a mass term as an interacting term of massless particles with a constant...
متن کاملProbing neutral Majorana fermion edge modes with charge transport.
We propose two experiments to probe the Majorana fermion edge states that occur at a junction between a superconductor and a magnet deposited on the surface of a topological insulator. Combining two Majorana fermions into a single Dirac fermion on a magnetic domain wall allows the neutral Majorana fermions to be probed with charge transport. We will discuss a novel interferometer for Majorana f...
متن کاملFour-dimensional N = 1 Supersymmetric Yang-mills Theory on the Lattice without Fine-tuning
We propose a method to formulate four-dimensional N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory on the lattice without ne-tuning. We rst show that four-dimensional Weyl fermion in a real representation, which is equivalent to Majorana fermion, can be formulated using the domain wall approach with an addition of a Majorana mass term only for the unwanted mirror fermion. This formalism has manifest gauge invaria...
