A new formulation for fermions on the lattice based on a discretization of a second order formalism is proposed. A comparison with the first order formalism in connection with the $U(1)$ anomaly and the doubling problem is presented. The…
The lattice fermion determinants, in a given background gauge field, are evaluated for two different kinds of random lattices and compared to those of naive and wilson fermions in the continuum limit. While the fermion doubling is confirmed…
Random-lattice fermions have been shown to be free of the doubling problem if there are no interactions or interactions of a non-gauge nature. On the other hand, gauge interactions impose stringent constraints as expressed by the…
Chiral defect fermions in the background of an external, $2n$ dimensional gauge field are considered. Assuming first a finite extra dimension, we calculate the axial anomaly in a vector-like, gauge invariant model for arbitrary $n$, and the…
It is possible to characterize certain states of matter by properties of their edge states. This implies a notion of `surface-only models': models which can only be regularized at the edge of a higher-dimensional system. After incorporating…
Mirror fermions appear naturally in lattice formulations of the standard model. The phenomenological limits on their existence and discovery limits at future colliders are discussed. After an introduction of lattice actions for chiral…
We show that the string bit model suffers from doubling in the fermionic sector. The doubling leads to strong violation of supersymmetry in the limit $N\to\infty$. Since there is an exact correspondence between string bits and the algebra…
Coupling gauge fields to the chiral currents from an effective Lagrangian for pseudoscalar mesons naturally gives rise to a species doubling phenomenon similar to that seen with fermionic fields in lattice gauge theory.

Mappings between models may be obtained by unitary transformations with preservation of the spectra but in general a change in the states. Non- canonical transformations in general also change the statistics of the operators involved. In…
The overlap approach to chiral gauge theories on arbitrary $D$--dimensional lattices is studied. The doubling problem and its relation to chiral anomalies for $D=2$ and 4 is examined. In each case it is shown that the doublers can be…
The effective action induced by chiral fermions can be written, formally, as an overlap of two states. These states are the Fock ground states of Hamiltonians for fermions in even dimensional space with opposite sign mass terms coupled to…
An expression for the lattice effective action induced by chiral fermions in any even dimensions in terms of an overlap of two states is shown to have promising properties in two and four dimensions: The correct abelian anomaly is…
We establish a strong-weak coupling duality between two types of free matrix models. In the large-N limit, the real-symmetric matrix model is dual to the quaternionic-real matrix model. Using the large-N conformal invariant collective field…
Random-lattice fermions have been shown to be free of the doubling problem if there are no interactions or interactions of a non-gauge nature. However, gauge interactions impose stringent constraints as expressed by the Ward-Takahashi…
It is shown that the neutrino oscillations phenomenon may be attributed to the Wilson fermion doubling phenomenon. The Wilson fermion doubling exists only on the lattices, both periodic and non-periodic (simplicial complexes). Just the last…
Novel chirally symmetric fermion actions containing the minimum amount of fermion doubling have been recently proposed in the literature. We study the symmetries and renormalization of these actions and find that in each case, discrete…
We investigate two models of much recent interest in lattice Beyond Standard Model studies: N_f=2 fermions in the 2-index symmetric (sextet) representation, and N_f=12 fermions in the fundamental representation, both with SU(3) gauge…
We consider a nonlocal lattice action for fermions fermion doubling in lattice theories. It is shown, that it is possible to avoid the fermionic doubling in the case of free fermions, but this approach does not reproduce results for the…
Discussions are made on the structures of chirally invariant lattice actions without any restriction of hermiticity. With the help of the Ward-Takahashi identity a general conclusion can be derived that there must be species doublers in any…
