The overlap operator is just the simplest of a class of Dirac operators with an exact chiral symmetry. I demonstrate how a general class of chiral Dirac operators can be constructed, show that they have no fermion doublers and that they are…
Starting from the continuum Dirac operator, I construct a renormalisation group blocking which transforms the continuum action into a lattice action, and I specifically consider the Wilson and overlap formalisms. For Wilson fermions the…
