Chiral Fermions , Anomalies and Chern - Simons Currents on the Lattice 1
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss the zeromode spectrum of lattice chiral fermions in the domain wall model suggested recently. In particular I give the critical momenta where the fermions cease to be chiral and show that the spectrum is directly related to the behaviour of the Chern-Simons current on the lattice. First results for the domain wall model on the finite lattice indicate that the relevant features of the model in the infinite system survive for the finite lattice.

0 Descendants of the Chiral Anomaly
Chern-Simons terms are well-known descendants of chiral anomalies, when the latter are presented as total derivatives. Here I explain that also Chern-Simons terms, when defined on a 3-manifold, may be expressed as total derivatives. The axial anomaly, that is, the departure from transversality of the correlation function for fermion vector, vector, and axial vector currents, involves * F F , an...
متن کاملChern-Simons Currents and Chiral Fermions on the Lattice
We compute the Chern-Simons current induced by Wilson fermions on a d = 2n+ 1 dimensional lattice, making use of a topological interpretation of the momentum space fermion propagator as a map from the torus to the sphere, T d → S. These mappings are shown to fall in different homotopy classes depending on the value of m/r, where m is the fermion mass and r is the Wilson coupling. As a result, t...
متن کاملPerturbative analysis for Kaplan's lattice chiral fermions.
Perturbation theory for lattice fermions with domain wall mass terms is developed and is applied to investigate the chiral Schwinger model formulated on the lattice by Kaplan’s method. We calculate the effective action for gauge fields to one loop, and find that it contains a longitudinal component even for anomaly-free cases. From the effective action we obtain gauge anomalies and Chern-Simons...
متن کاملLocalized Fermions and Anomaly Inflow via Deconstruction
We study fermion localization in gauge theory space. We consider four dimensional product gauge groups in which light chiral fermions transform under different gauge factors of the product group. This construction provides a suppression of higher dimensional operators. For example, it can be used to suppress dangerous proton decay operators. The anomalies associated with the light chiral fermio...
متن کاملVortex solutions in axial or chiral coupled non-relativistic spinor- Chern-Simons theory
The interaction of a spin 1/2 particle (described by the non-relativistic ”Dirac” equation of Lévy-Leblond) with Chern-Simons gauge fields is studied. It is shown, that similarly to the four dimensional spinor models, there is a consistent possibility of coupling them also by axial or chiral type currents. Static self dual vortex solutions together with a vortex-lattice are found with the new c...
