We study a class of nearest-neighbor minimally doubled actions which depend on 2 continuous parameters. We calculate the contributions of the 3 possible counterterms in perturbation theory, and we find that for each counterterm there are…
Minimally doubled fermions provide a cheap and convenient way of simulating quarks which preserve chiral symmetry. It has been established that two actions of this kind (known as Borici-Creutz and Karsten-Wilczek) require the tuning of…
Single fermionic degrees of freedom together with standard chiral symmetry at finite lattice spacing, correct continuum limit and local interactions only are precluded by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. The class of minimally doubled…
Minimally doubled fermions have been proposed as a cost-effective realization of chiral symmetry at non-zero lattice spacing. Using lattice perturbation theory at one loop, we study their renormalization properties. Specifically, we…

The Karsten-Wilczek action is a formulation of minimally doubled fermions on the lattice. It explicitly breaks hypercubic symmetry and introduces three counterterms with respective bare parameters. We present a tuning of the bare parameters…
Minimally doubled fermions have been proposed as a strictly local discretization of the QCD quark action, which also preserves chiral symmetry at finite cut-off. We study the renormalization and mixing properties of two particular…
For thermodynamics studies it is desirable to simulate two degenerate flavors and retain at least a remnant of the chiral symmetry. Staggered fermions can achieve this at the cost of rooting the determinant. Rooting can be avoided using…
We use the two-dimensional Schwinger model to investigate how lattice fermions perceive the global topological charge $q\in\mathbf{Z}$ of a given gauge background $U$. After a warm-up part devoted to staggered, Adams, Wilson and naive…
The renormalization of the most general dimension-six four-fermion operators without power subtractions is studied at one loop in lattice perturbation theory using overlap fermions. As expected, operators with different chirality do not mix…
Karsten-Wilczek (KW) fermions are a popular variant of minimally doubled fermions. We construct Symanzik effective action for KW fermions, which is known to break the hypercubic symmetry of the lattice action. In this work we make the two…
In this work we calculate the renormalization of counterterms which arise in the lattice action of $N = 1$ Supersymmetric QCD (SQCD). In particular, the fine-tunings for quartic couplings are studied in detail through both continuum and…
Renormalization constants can be computed by means of Numerical Stochastic Perturbation Theory to two/three loops in lattice perturbation theory, both in the quenched approximation and in the full (unquenched) theory. As a case of study we…
The explicit one-loop renormalizability of the gluon sector of QCD with Lorentz violation is demonstrated. The result is consistent with multiplicative renormalization as the required counter terms are consistent with a single re-scaling of…
Lattice chiral perturbation theory is developed for Karsten-Wilczek fermions, a variant of minimally doubled fermions. As a first step, we consider the n\"aive fermionic field on lattice without its doubler. Once the symmetries of the…
Using the overlap-Dirac operator proposed by Neuberger, we have computed in lattice QCD the one-loop renormalization factors of ten operators which measure the lowest two moments of unpolarized and polarized non-singlet quark distributions.…
The two-dimensional Schwinger model is used to explore how lattice fermion operators perceive the global topological charge $q \in \mathbb{Z}$ of a given background gauge field. We focus on Karsten-Wilczek and Borici-Creutz fermions, which…
We compute the difference in the renormalization of flavor singlet and nonsinglet fermion bilinear operators, to two loops in perturbation theory. Our results are applicable to a rather wide class of lattice actions with Symanzik improved…
We study a systematic improvement of perturbation theory for gauge fields on the lattice [hep-lat/0606001]; the improvement entails resumming, to all orders in the coupling constant, a dominant subclass of tadpole diagrams. This method,…
