It is shown that the Wilson fermion doubling phenomenon on irregular lattices (simplicial complexes) does exist. This means that the irregular (not smooth) zero or soft modes exist. The statement is proved on 4 Dimensional lattice by means…
We argue that some features of the standard model, in particular the fermion assignment and symmetry breaking, can be obtained in matrix model which describes noncommutative gauge theory as well as gravity in an emergent way. The mechanism…
We formulate a Euclidean lattice theory of interacting elementary spin-half electric and magnetic charges, which we refer to as electrons and magnetic monopoles respectively. The model uses the polymer representation of the fermion…
We propose a formulation of lattice fermions with one-sided differences that is hermitian, chirally symmetric (barring a bare mass term) and completely free of doubling. To obtain the axial anomaly in perturbation theory it was necessary to…
The open problem of calculating the limiting spectrum (or its Shannon transform) of increasingly large random Hermitian finite-band matrices is described. In general, these matrices include a finite number of non-zero diagonals around their…
Baryon and lepton number in the standard model are violated by anomalies, even though the fermions are massive. This problem is studied in the context of a two dimensional model. In a uniform background field, fermion production arise from…
We study the dynamics of two strongly-interacting fermions moving in 2D lattices under the action of a periodic electric field, both with and without a magnetic flux. Due to the interaction, these particles bind together forming a doublon.…
Possible physical consequences of a recently discovered nonabelian dual symmetry are explored in the standard model. It is found that both Higgs fields and fermion generations can be assigned a natural place in the dual framework, with…
In recent years the complex action problem of lattice field theory at finite density was overcome for several system by mapping them to dual variables (flux lines and surfaces). We illustrate this mapping for the case of the U(1) gauge…
Open fermion systems with energy-independent bilinear coupling to a fermionic environment have been shown to obey a general duality relation [Phys. Rev. B 93, 81411 (2016)] which allows for a drastic simplification of time-evolution…
We investigate Matrix theory in the large-N limit following the conjectured correspondence between Matrix theory and supergravity on the near-horizon limit of the D0-brane background. We analyze the complete fermionic spectrum of…
We suggest the fermion doubling for all quarks and leptons. It is a generalization of the neutrino doubling of the seesaw mechanism. The new quarks and leptons are $SU(2)$ singlets and carry the electromagnetic charges of their lighter…
The Dualized Standard Model offers a natural place both to Higgs fields and to fermion generations with Higgs fields appearing as frame vectors in internal symmetry space and generation appearing as dual colour. If they are assigned those…
We discuss a dynamical matrix model by which probability distribution is associated with Gaussian ensembles from random matrix theory. We interpret the matrix M as a Hamiltonian representing interaction of a bosonic system with a single…
In a Hamiltonian formalism we study chiral symmetry for lattice Fermions formulated in terms of Shockley surface states bound to a wall in an extra spatial dimension. For hadronic physics this provides a natural scheme for taking quark…
Considering as an example a simple lattice ansatz for the chiral fermion determinant, we demonstrate that even very mild violation of gauge invariance by the determinant at finite lattice spacing leads to the need for another scale in the…
Exact chiral symmetry at finite lattice spacing would preclude the axial anomaly. In order to describe a continuum quantum field theory of Dirac fermions, lattice actions with purported exact chiral symmetry must break the flavor-singlet…
Fermion mass matrices generally rotate in generation space under scale changes, which can lead to fermions of different generations transmuting into one another. The effect is examined in detail and its cross-section calculated for $\gamma…
The axial anomaly arising from the fermion sector of $\U(N)$ or $\SU(N)$ reduced model is studied under a certain restriction of gauge field configurations (the ``$\U(1)$ embedding'' with $N=L^d$). We use the overlap-Dirac operator and…
Continuing our previous analysis of a supersymmetric quantum-mechanical matrix model, we study in detail the properties of its sectors with fermion number F=2 and 3. We confirm all previous expectations, modulo the appearance, at strong…
