In order to improve simulations with domain wall fermions (DWFs), it has been suggested to project out a number of low-lying eigenvalues of the 4-dimensional Dirac operator that generates the transfer matrix of DWF. We investigate how this…

Domain-wall fermions preserve chiral symmetry up to terms that decrease exponentially when the lattice size in the fifth dimension is taken to infinity. The associated rates of convergence are given by the low-lying eigenvalues of a simple…
