We investigate, analytically and numerically, the fermion determinant of a new action on a (1+1)-dimensional Euclidean lattice. In this formulation the discrete chiral symmetry is preserved and the number of fermion components is a half of…
Considering as an example a simple lattice ansatz for the chiral fermion determinant, we demonstrate that even very mild violation of gauge invariance by the determinant at finite lattice spacing leads to the need for another scale in the…

We present a new staggered discretization of the Dirac operator. Doubling gives only a doublet of Dirac fermions which we propose to interpret as a physical (lepton or quark) doublet. If coupled with gauge fields, an $(1+\gamma^5)$ chiral…
In this work, we introduce some new $U(1)$ symmetry groups of the free fermionic action in euclidean space-time, which are a consequence of parity and time-reversal symmetries. Afterwards, we discuss how the introduction of a gauge…
Using the overlap formulation, we calculate the fermionic determinant on the lattice for chiral fermions with twisted boundary conditions in two dimensions. When the lattice spacing tends to zero we recover the results of the usual…
We provide first evidence that Matrix Models describe the low lying complex Dirac eigenvalues in a theory with dynamical fermions at non-zero density. Lattice data for gauge group SU(2) with staggered fermions are compared to detailed…
We define Weyl fermions on a finite lattice in such a way that in the path integral the action is gauge invariant but the functional measure is not. Two variants of such a formulation are tested in perturbative calculation of the fermion…
We present a new formulation of the staggered fermion on the D-dimensional lattice based on the SO(2D) Clifford algebra, which is naturally present in the action. The action of the massless staggered fermion is invariant under the discrete…
