A no-go theorem for the Majorana fermion on a lattice

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2016-09-01 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

A variant of the Nielsen--Ninomiya no-go theorem is formulated. This theorem states that, under several assumptions, it is impossible to write down a doubler-free Euclidean lattice action of a single Majorana fermion in 8k8k and 8k+18k+1 dimensions.
