A new proposal for the fermion doubling problem

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

In this paper I propose the use of a lattice derivative operator that is equivalent to the ideal SLAC derivative operator in all lattice calculations, but without the prohibitively expensive computational cost of the latter. A pedagogical motivation and derivation of the closed form of the SLAC derivative in position space is presented, and the proposed method for its cost-effective implementation is presented in detail.
