We present a new staggered discretization of the Dirac operator. In comparison with standard staggered fermions, real and imaginary parts are located in different nodes. Doubling gives only a doublet of Dirac fermions which we propose to…
We address in this work the question of the discretization of two-dimensional periodic Dirac Hamiltonians. Standard finite differences methods on rectangular grids are plagued with the so-called Fermion doubling problem, which creates…
We discuss the continuum limit of discrete Dirac operators on the square lattice in $\mathbb R^2$ as the mesh size tends to zero. To this end, we propose the most natural and simplest embedding of $\ell^2(\mathbb Z_h^d)$ into $L^2(\mathbb…
The Wilson formulation of fermions in lattice gauge theory provides a unified description of the chiral anomalies in the standard model. The discrete Dirac operator diagonalizes into a series of two by two blocks. In each block the possible…
We propose a discretisation scheme based on the Dirac-Kahler formalism (DK) in which the algebraic relations between continuum operators ${\wedge, d, \star}$ are captured by their discrete analogues, allowing the construction of the…
Critical slowing down in Krylov methods for the Dirac operator presents a major obstacle to further advances in lattice field theory as it approaches the continuum solution. Here we formulate a multi-grid algorithm for the Kogut-Susskind…
Recently, properties of the fixed point action for fermion theories have been pointed out indicating realization of chiral symmetry on the lattice. We check these properties by numerical analysis of the spectrum of a parametrized fixed…
We compute the lattice spacing corrections to the spectral density of the Hermitean Wilson Dirac operator using Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory at NLO. We consider a regime where the quark mass $m$ and the lattice spacing $a$ obey the…
A new approach to formulate the fermion field on lattice is introduced by proposing a new Dirac operator on lattice.This approach can eliminate the Fermion doubling problem, preserve the chiral symmetry and get the same dispersion relation…
I define lattice fermions in five Euclidean dimensions and the corresponding effective theory in four dimensions. The main properties of these theories include the suppression of high momentum modes of the lattice Dirac operator and their…
In this paper we show how to construct a Dirac operator on a lattice in complete analogy with the continuum. In fact we consider a more general problem, that is, the Dirac operator over an abelian finite group (for which a lattice is a…
New exact upper and lower bounds are derived on the spectrum of the square of the hermitian Wilson Dirac operator. It is hoped that the derivations and the results will be of help in the search for ways to reduce the cost of simulations…
Lattice formulation of a fermionic field theory defined on a randomly triangulated compact manifold is discussed, with emphasis on the topological problem of defining spin structures on the manifold. An explicit construction is presented…
Close to the continuum the lattice spacing affects the smallest eigenvalues of the Wilson Dirac operator in a very specific manner determined by the way in which the discretization breaks chiral symmetry. These effects can be computed…
It is recommended that lattice QCD representations of the fermion determinant, including the discretization of the Dirac operator, be checked in the continuum limit against known QED determinant results. Recent work on the massive QED…
We consider the effect of discretization errors on the microscopic spectrum of the Wilson Dirac operator using both chiral Perturbation Theory and chiral Random Matrix Theory. A graded chiral Lagrangian is used to evaluate the microscopic…
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…
A unified classification and analysis is presented of two dimensional Dirac operators of QCD-like theories in the continuum as well as in a naive lattice discretization. Thereby we consider the quenched theory in the strong coupling limit.…
We study the continuum limit for Dirac-Hodge operators defined on the $n$ dimensional square lattice $h\mathbb{Z}^n$ as $h$ goes to $0$. This result extends to a first order discrete differential operator the known convergence of discrete…
