We construct a family of Ginsparg-Wilson Hamiltonians with improved chiral properties, starting from a construction of Creutz-Horvath-Neuberger that provides a doubler-free Hamiltonian lattice regularization for Dirac fermions in even…
We show that even if a lattice Dirac operator satisfies the conditions consisting of locality, free of species doublings, correct continuum behavior, $\gm5$-hermiticity and the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, it does not necessarily have exact…
A perturbative study of a general class of lattice Dirac operators is reported, which is based on an algebraic realization of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation in the form $\gamma_{5}(\gamma_{5}D)+(\gamma_{5}D)\gamma_{5} =…
For relativistic closed systems, an operator is explained which has as stationary eigenvalues the squares of the total cms energies, while the wave function has only half as many components as the corresponding Dirac wave function. The…
A new class of lattice Dirac operators which satisfy the index theorem have been recently proposed on the basis of the algebraic relation $\gamma_{5}(\gamma_{5}D) + (\gamma_{5}D)\gamma_{5} = 2a^{2k+1}(\gamma_{5}D)^{2k+2}$. Here $k$ stands…
The gauge covariant lattice Dirac operator D which has recently been proposed by Neuberger satisfies the Ginsparg-Wilson relation and thus preserves chiral symmetry. The operator also avoids a doubling of fermion species, but its locality…
We study the spectrum of the QCD Dirac operator near zero virtuality for $N_c =2$. According to a universality argument, it can be described by a random matrix theory with the chiral structure of QCD, but with $real$ matrix elements. Using…
We evaluate chiral anomaly on the noncommutative torus with the overlap Dirac operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation in arbitrary even dimensions. Utilizing a topological argument we show that the chiral anomaly is combined into a…

The coupling of spin 0 and spin 1 external fields to Dirac fermions defines a theory which displays gauge chiral symmetry. Quantum mechanically, functional integration of the fermions yields the determinant of the Dirac operator, known as…
We show that, under certain general assumptions, any sensible lattice Dirac operator satisfies a generalized form of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation (GWR). Those assumptions, on the other hand, are mostly dictated by large momentum behaviour…
The Wilson formulation of fermions in lattice gauge theory provides a unified description of the chiral anomalies in the standard model. The discrete Dirac operator diagonalizes into a series of two by two blocks. In each block the possible…
I study the consequences of chiral symmetry restoration for the Dirac spectrum in finite-temperature gauge theories in the two-flavor chiral limit, using Ginsparg--Wilson fermions on the lattice. I prove that chiral symmetry is restored at…
We clarify the questions rised by a recent example of a lattice Dirac operator found by Chiu. We show that this operator belongs to a class based on the Cayley transformation and that this class on the finite lattice generally does not…
Instead of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation only generalized chiral symmetry is required. The resulting much larger class of Dirac operators for massless fermions is investigated and a general construction for them is given. It is also shown…
We discuss within the framework of the ERG how chiral symmetry is realized in a linear $\sigma$ model. A generalized Ginsparg-Wilson relation is obtained from the Ward-Takahashi identities for the Wilson action assumed to be bilinear in the…
