A model for lattice fermion is proposed which is, (i) free from doublers, (ii) hermitian, and (iii) chirally invariant. The price paid is the loss of hypercubic and reflection symmetries in the lattice action. Thanks to the…
We study the chiral properties of quenched domain wall fermions with several gauge actions. We demonstrate that the residual chiral symmetry breaking, which is present for a finite number of lattice sites in the fifth dimension ($L_s$), can…
We investigate, analytically and numerically, the fermion determinant of a new action on a (1+1)-dimensional Euclidean lattice. In this formulation the discrete chiral symmetry is preserved and the number of fermion components is a half of…
We consider fermion-gauge couplings in the Wilson-Yukawa approach for lattice chiral gauge theories. At the leading order of a fermionic hopping parameter expansion we find that the fermion-gauge coupling has a chiral and tree-like…
We use the functional renormalization group equation for the effective average action to study the fixed point structure of gravity-fermion systems on a curved background spacetime. We approximate the effective average action by the…
Causal fermion systems incorporate local gauge symmetry in the sense that the Lagrangian and all inherent structures are invariant under local phase transformations of the physical wave functions. In the present paper it is explained and…
Confinement in asymptotically free gauge theories is accompanied by the spontaneous breaking of the global flavor symmetry. If a subgroup of the flavor symmetry group is coupled weakly to additional gauge fields, the vacuum state tends to…
