We investigate exact symmetries of a staggered fermion in D dimensions. The Dirac operator is reformulated by SO(2D) Clifford algebra. The chiral symmetry, rotational invariance and parity symmetries are clarified in any dimension. Local…

We present a new method to introduce rotationally invariant terms in staggered fermions which is based on an $SO(2D)$ Clifford algebra formulation, where $D$ means the number of space-time dimensions. We have four candidates for improved…

We show that the free massless staggered fermion (or the KS-fermion) Hamiltonian is equivalent to a discrete Hodge-Dirac operator on the $d$-dimensional square lattice $h\mathbb{Z}^d$. In fact, they are identical operator valued matrices…

We revisit 2D $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ super Yang-Mills lattice formulation (Sugino model) to investigate its fermion action with two (Majorana) fermion flavors and exact chiral-$U(1)_{R}$ symmetry. We show that the reconcilement of chiral…

Staggered fermion shift symmetries correspond to translations of the fermion field within the unit cell of a hypercubic lattice. They satisfy an algebra and in four Euclidean dimensions can be related to a discrete subgroup of an $SU(4)$…

We have studied $O(a^2)$ improved lattice QCD with the staggered fermion by using Symanzik's program. We find that there are 5 dimension-6 fermion bilinears and gauge operators. In addition, there are 10 four-fermion operators which are…

Carroll symmetry is a very powerful characteristic of generic null surfaces, as it replaces the usual Poincar\'e algebra with a vanishing speed of light version thereof. These symmetries have found universal applications in the physics of…

We simulate $ SU(2) $ lattice gauge theory using dynamical reduced staggered fermions. The latter lead to two rather than four Dirac fermions in the continuum limit. We review the derivation and properties of reduced staggered fermions and…

We study the leading discretization errors for staggered fermions by first constructing the continuum effective Lagrangian including terms of O(a^2), and then constructing the corresponding effective chiral Lagrangian. The terms of O(a^2)…

In the 1+1D ultra-local lattice Hamiltonian for staggered fermions with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, there are two conserved, integer-valued charges that flow in the continuum limit to the vector and axial charges of a massless Dirac…

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 investigate the fermion determinant of a new action on a $(1+D)$-dimensional lattice for SU(2) gauge groups. This action possesses the discrete chiral symmetry and provides $2^D$-component fermions. We also comment on the numerical…

This article presents the description of the internal spaces of fermion and boson fields in $d$-dimensional spaces, with the odd and even "basis vectors" which are the superposition of odd and even products of operators $\gamma^a$. While…

We study conserved charges of the staggered fermion Hamiltonian in 3+1 dimensions. By decomposing staggered fermions into Majorana components and exploiting lattice translation symmetries, we construct a set of conserved non-singlet…

We present technical details of an analysis of pseudo-scalar data from a QCD simulation with staggered fermions. The data were obtained close to the physical point with an inverse lattice spacing of about 3 GeV, and $N_f=2+1+1$. We compare…

In the staggered fermion formulation of lattice QCD, we construct diquark operators to be embedded in singly heavy baryons. The group theoretical connections between the continuum and lattice staggered diquark representations are…

The fixed point actions for Wilson and staggered lattice fermions are determined by iterating renormalization group transformations. In both cases a line of fixed points is found. Some points have very local fixed point actions. They can be…
