Abstract
The recently proposed worldsheet formulation of lattice fermions is tested for the first time carrying out a simulation for the simplest model: the one-flavor, strictly massless lattice Schwinger model. A main advantage of this alternative method for simulating dynamical fermions consists in its economy: it involves many fewer degrees of freedom than the ordinary Kogut-Susskind formulation. The known continuum limit is reproduced by the method for relatively small lattices.
