Classification of minimally doubled fermions

چکیده
We propose a method to control the number of species of lattice fermions, which yields new classes of minimally doubled lattice fermions. We show it is possible to control the number of species by handling OðaÞ Wilson-term-like corrections in fermion actions, which we will term ‘‘twisted-ordering method’’. Using this method we obtain new minimally doubled actions with one exact chiral symmetry and exact locality. We classify the known minimally doubled fermions into two types based on the locations of the propagator poles in the Brillouin zone.

Classification and Generalization of Minimal-doubling actions
We propose a method to control the number of species of lattice fermions, which yields new classes of minimally doubled lattice fermions with one exact chiral symmetry and exact locality. We classify all the known minimally doubled fermions into two types based on the locations of the propagator poles in the Brillouin zone. We also study higher-dimensional extension of them and show it tends to...
متن کاملIndex theorem and overlap formalism with naive and minimally doubled fermions
We present a theoretical foundation for the index theorem in naive and minimally doubled lattice fermions by studying the spectral flow of a Hermitean version of Dirac operators. We utilize the point splitting method to implement flavored mass terms, which play an important role in constructing proper Hermitean operators. We show the spectral flow correctly detects the index of the would-be zer...
متن کاملLocal chiral fermions
Borici’s construction of minimally doubled chiral fermions builds on a linear combination of two unitarily related naive fermion actions. Being strictly local, extremely efficient numerical implementation should be possible. The resulting system is symmetric under the subgroup of the hypercubic group that preserves a major hypercube diagonal. The symmetry includes both parity even and odd trans...

Quantum mechanics and relativity in the continuum imply the well known spin-statistics connection. However for particles hopping on a lattice, there is no such constraint. If a lattice model yields a relativistic field theory in a continuum limit, this constraint must ”emerge” for physical excitations. We discuss a few models where a spin-less fermion hopping on a lattice gives excitations whic...

In this paper, fermions are minimally coupled to 3D-gravity with dynamical torsion. A Kalb-Ramond field is also introduced and non-minimally coupled to the fermions in a gauge-invariant way. We show that a 1-loop mass generation mechanism takes place for both the 2-form gauge field and the torsion. As for the fermions, no mass is dynamically generated: at 1-loop, there is only a fermion mass sh...
