We formulate Dirac-Kähler fermion action by introducing a new Clifford product with noncommutative differential form on a lattice. Hermiticity of the Dirac-Kähler action requires to choose the lattice structure having both orientabilities on a link. The Kogut-Susskind fermion and the staggered fermion actions are derived directly from the Dirac-Kähler fermion formulated by the Clifford product....

It is investigated that a dynamical mechanism to generate a low mass fermion in Randall-Sundrum (RS) background. We consider a five-dimensional four-fermion interaction model with two kinds of bulk fermion fields and take all the mass scale in the five-dimensional spacetime at the Planck scale. Evaluating the effective potential of the induced four-dimensional model, I calculate the dynamically...

Sweet spot supersymmetry is a phenomenologically and cosmologically perfect framework to realize a supersymmetric world at short distance. We discuss a class of dynamical models of supersymmetry breaking and its mediation whose low-energy effective description falls into this framework. Hadron fields in the dynamical models play a role of the messengers of the supersymmetry breaking. As is alwa...

We study how fermion number conservation fails in fermion number preserving regularization schemes. We show that the fermion number have to be carried by the gauge field configurations with non-zero winding number in this scheme and this fermion number is not conserved in the presence of instantons. We also consider other types of regularization scheme which have different global symmetries. In...
