A Proof of the Nielsen-Ninomiya Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
The Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem asserts the impossibility of constructing lattice models of non-selfinteracting chiral fermions. A new proof is given here. This proof fills a technical gap in the two proofs presented by the authors of the theorem. It also serves as prelude to an investigation of the chiral properties of the general lattice model.

Exact Chiral Symmetry on the Lattice and the Ginsparg-wilson Relation
It is shown that the Ginsparg-Wilson relation implies an exact symmetry of the fermion action, which may be regarded as a lattice form of an infinitesimal chiral rotation. Using this result it is straightforward to construct lattice Yukawa models with unbroken flavour and chiral symmetries and no doubling of the fermion spectrum. A contradiction with the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem is avoided, bec...
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...
متن کاملA new proof for the Banach-Zarecki theorem: A light on integrability and continuity
To demonstrate more visibly the close relation between thecontinuity and integrability, a new proof for the Banach-Zareckitheorem is presented on the basis of the Radon-Nikodym theoremwhich emphasizes on measure-type properties of the Lebesgueintegral. The Banach-Zarecki theorem says that a real-valuedfunction $F$ is absolutely continuous on a finite closed intervalif and only if it is continuo...
متن کاملGetting Around the Nielsen - Ninomiya Theorem , towards the Rome Approach
The " no-go " theorem of Nielsen and Ninomiya has been the most tenacious obstacle against the construction of a chiral gauge theory with reasonable low energy spectrum, couplings and anomaly. In this paper we construct a model which supplements the usual (bilinear in the Fermi fields) lagrangian with quadrilinear fermionic terms. We show that in a certain region of the parameter space the diff...
متن کاملA Perturbative Construction of Lattice Chiral Fermions *
We perform a renormalization group transformation to construct a lattice theory of chiral fermions. The field variables of the continuum theory are averaged over hypercubes to define lattice fields. Integrating out the continuum variables in perturbation theory we derive a chirally invariant effective action for the lattice fields. This is consistent with the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem because th...
