We study the partition function of the model formulated with Wilson fermions with only one species, both analytically and numerically. At strong coupling we construct the solution for lattice size up to $8\times 8$, a polynomial in the…

We consider the Schr\"odinger functional with staggered one-component fermions on a fine lattice of size $(L/a)^3 \times (T/a)$ where $T/a$ must be an odd number. In order to reconstruct the four-component spinors, two different set-ups are…
