We study the chiral properties of quenched domain wall fermions with several gauge actions. We demonstrate that the residual chiral symmetry breaking, which is present for a finite number of lattice sites in the fifth dimension ($L_s$), can…
The beta-shift induced from dynamical domain wall quarks leads to increased roughness of the gauge field, thus reversing the effect of smoothing from the gauge action improvement. By exploiting the relation of overlap and domain wall…
We define a sparse hermitian lattice Dirac matrix, $H$, coupling $2n+1$ Dirac fermions. When $2n$ fermions are integrated out the induced action for the last fermion is a rational approximation to the hermitian overlap Dirac operator. We…
We describe an adaptive multigrid algorithm for solving inverses of the domain-wall fermion operator. Our multigrid algorithm uses an adaptive projection of near-null vectors of the domain-wall operator onto coarser four-dimensional…
We present lattice calculations of kaon matrix elements with domain wall fermions. Using lattices with beta=5.85, 6.0, and 6.3, we estimate B_K(approx 2 GeV)=0.628(47) in quenched QCD which is consistent with previous calculations. At…
I review the lattice formulations of vector-like gauge theories (e.g. QCD) with domain-wall/overlap fermions, and discuss how to optimize the chiral symmetry for any finite $ N_s $ (sites in the fifth dimension). In this formulation, quark…
Perturbation theory for lattice fermions with domain wall mass terms is developed and is applied to investigate the chiral Schwinger model formulated on the lattice by Kaplan's method. We calculate the effective action for gauge fields to…
This paper reviews the most popular methods which are used in lattice QCD to compute the determinant of the lattice Dirac operator: Gaussian integral representation and noisy methods. Both of them lead naturally to matrix function problems.…
We derive the effective Lagrangian for mesons in lattice gauge theory with domain-wall fermions in the strong-coupling and large-N_c limits. We use the formalism of supergroups to deal with the Pauli-Villars fields, needed to regulate the…
It is shown that the effective 4D lattice Dirac operator of optimal lattice domain-wall fermions with finite N_s (in the fifth dimension) is exponentially local for sufficiently smooth gauge background.
The domain wall approach to lattice fermions employs an additional dimension, in which gauge fields are merely replicated, to separate the chiral components of a Dirac fermion. It is known that in the limit of infinite separation in this…
We study the chiral properties of quenched domain wall fermions with several gauge actions. We demonstrate that the nearly translationally invariant modes in the fifth dimension that dominate the residual mass for Wilson gauge action can be…
The approximation for the NJL gap equation that was developed in our previous paper allows us to investigate vacuum inhomogeneities in the mean field approach. The simplest case of a domain wall is studied thoroughly. The Jackiw-Rebbi…
A serious difficulty in conventional lattice field theory calculations is the coupling between the chiral and continuum limits. With both staggered and Wilson fermions, the chiral limit cannot be realized without first taking the limit of…
I discuss the constraints on the lattice spacing, a, the quark masses, m, the box size, L, and particularly the residual mass, m_res, such that one can successfully calculate phenomenologically interesting quantities using Domain Wall…
Two transparent layers are introduced at the boundaries of the fifth dimension for the optimal domain-wall fermions. For the quark fields defined in terms of these two transparent layers, they obey the usual chiral projection rule in the…
We present a detailed comparison of several recent and new approaches to multigrid solver algorithms suitable for the solution of 5d chiral fermion actions such as Domain Wall fermions in the Shamir formulation, and also for the Partial…
We develop an improved lattice action for heavy quarks based on Brillouin-type fermions, that have excellent energy-momentum dispersion relation. The leading discretization errors of $O(a)$ and $O(a^2)$ are eliminated at tree-level. We…
Domain-wall fermions preserve chiral symmetry up to terms that decrease exponentially when the lattice size in the fifth dimension is taken to infinity. The associated rates of convergence are given by the low-lying eigenvalues of a simple…
In perturbation theory, the wave function of domain-wall quarks decreases exponentially with the fifth coordinate. We show that, regardless of the quark's own momentum, the fall-off rate of the one-loop wave function is equal to the slowest…
