We propose a bosonic $U(1)$ rotor model on a three dimensional space-time lattice. With the inclusion of a Maxwell term, we show that the low-energy semi-classical behavior of our model is consistent with the Chern-Simons field theory, $S=…

We construct Hamiltonian models on a 3+1d cubic lattice for a single Weyl fermion and for a single Weyl doublet protected by exact (as opposed to emergent) chiral symmetries. In the former, we find a not-on-site, non-compact chiral symmetry…
