The fermion determinant in (4,4) 2d lattice super-Yang-Mills
نویسنده
چکیده
We find that the fermion determinant is not generally positive in a class of lattice actions recently constructed by Cohen et al. [hep-lat/0307012]; these are actions that contain an exact lattice supersymmetry and have as their target (continuum) theory (4,4) 2-dimensional super-Yang-Mills. We discuss the implications of this finding for lattice simulations and give some preliminary results for the phase of the determinant in the phase-quenched ensemble. ∗[email protected]

Deconstruction, 2d lattice super-Yang-Mills, and the dynamical lattice spacing
We study expectation values related to the dynamical lattice spacing that occurs in the recent 2d lattice super-Yang-Mills constructions of Cohen et al. [hep-lat/0307012]. The corresponding observable in the fully-quenched ensemble would appear to indicate a difficulty with the proposed continuum limit. However, we find that the same observable in the phase-quenched ensemble takes a very differ...
متن کاملNon-positive fermion determinants in lattice supersymmetry
We find that fermion determinants are not generally positive in a recent class of constructions with explicit lattice supersymmetry. These involve an orbifold of supersymmetric matrix models, and have as their target (continuum) theory (2,2) 2-dimensional super-Yang-Mills. The fermion determinant is shown to be identically zero for all boson configurations due to the existence of a zeromode fer...
متن کاملTwo dimensional N = ( 2 , 2 ) super Yang - Mills theory on the lattice via dimensional reduction
TheN = (2, 2) extended super Yang-Mills theory in 2 dimensions is formulated on the lattice as a dimensional reduction of a 4 dimensional lattice gauge theory. We use the plaquette action for a bosonic sector and the Wilsonor the overlap-Dirac operator for a fermion sector. The fermion determinant is real and, moreover, when the overlap-Dirac operator is used, semi-positive definite. The flat d...
متن کاملMajorana and Majorana-Weyl fermions in lattice gauge theory
In various dimensional euclidean lattice gauge theories, we examine a compatibility of the Majorana decomposition and the charge conjugation property of lattice Dirac operators. In 8n and 1+8n dimensions, we find a difficulty to decompose a classical lattice action of the Dirac fermion into a system of the Majorana fermion and thus to obtain a factrized form of the Dirac determinant. Similarly,...
متن کاملSuper Yang-Mills Theory on Lattice and the Transformation
A lattice formulation is one of the most powerful tools for a nonperturbative study. We present here a completely new formulation of the super Yang-Mills theory on lattice with an exact fermionic symmetry. There are several pionieering attempts for contructing super Yang-Mills theories on lattice. The first approach, the Wilson fermion and mass finetuning procedure, is a well-simulated method [...
