We study the eigenvalue spectrum of different lattice Dirac operators (staggered, fixed point, overlap) and discuss their dependence on the topological sectors. Although the model is 2D (the Schwinger model with massless fermions) our…
We compute the axial anomaly for the Taub-NUT metric on $R^4$. We show that the axial anomaly for the generalized Taub-NUT metrics introduced by Iwai and Katayama is finite, although the Dirac operator is not Fredholm. We show that the…
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 so-called Dirac oscillator was proposed as a modification of the free Dirac equation which reproduces many of the properties of the simple harmonic oscillator but accompanied by a strong spin-orbit coupling term. It has yet to be…
We investigate relations between the chiral susceptibility and axial $U(1)$ anomaly in lattice QCD at high temperatures. Employing the exactly chiral symmetric Dirac operator, we separate the purely axial $U(1)$ breaking effect in the…

We prove a dichotomy of almost periodicity for reflectionless one-dimensional Dirac operators whose spectra satisfy certain geometric conditions, extending work of Volberg--Yuditskii. We also construct a weakly mixing Dirac operator with a…
Dirac fermions coupled to gauge fields can exhibit the chiral anomaly even on a finite spatial lattice. A careful description of this phenomenon yields new insights into the nature of spin-charge relations and on-site symmetries (symmetries…

When trying to cast the free fermion in the framework of functorial field theory, its chiral anomaly manifests in the fact that it assigns the determinant of the Dirac operator to a top-dimensional closed spin manifold, which is not a…
The overlap formula for the chiral determinant is presented and the realization of gauge anomalies and gauge field toplogy in this context is discussed. The ability of the overlap formalism to deal with supersymmetric theories and…
