In this paper we propose a new approach to formulate the field theory on a lattice. This approach can eliminate the Fermion doubling problem, preserve the chiral symmetry and get the same dispersion relation for both Fermion and Boson…
Recent indications of neutrino oscillations raise the question of the possibility of incorporating massive neutrinos in the formulation of the Standard Model (SM) within noncommutative geometry (NCG). We find that the NCG requirement of…
I review some of the difficulties associated with chiral symmetry in the context of a lattice regulator. I discuss the structure of Wilson Fermions when the hopping parameter is in the vicinity of its critical value. Here one flavor…
Twinlike defects refer to topological defect solutions of some apparently different field models that share the same defect configuration and the same energy density. Usually, one can distinguish twinlike defects in terms of their linear…
Higlighting certain similarities between the two-dimensional Luttinger liquid model and the effective fermionic theory obtained from the hypercharge Lagrangian, we argue the case for a new type of Standard Model extension.
The alternate row and column scaling algorithm applied to a positive $n\times n$ matrix $A$ converges to a doubly stochastic matrix $S(A)$, sometimes called the \emph{Sinkhorn limit} of $A$. For every positive integer $n$, a two parameter…
The behaviour of fermions in the background of a double-step potential is analyzed with a general mixing of scalar and vector couplings via continuous chiral-conjugation transformation. Provided the vector coupling does not exceed the…
We present analytical results to guide numerical simulations with Wilson fermions in higher representations of the colour group. The ratio of $\Lambda$ parameters, the additive renormalization of the fermion mass, and the renormalization of…
We consider anomaly free combinations of chiral fermions coupled to $U(1)$ gauge fields on a 2D torus first in the continuum and then on the lattice in the overlap formulation. Both in the continuum and on the lattice, when the background…
Using an explicit path integral approach we derive non-abelian bosonization and duality of 3D systems in the large $N$ limit. We first consider a fermionic $U(N)$ vector model coupled to level $k$ Chern-Simons theory, following standard…
Many extensions of the Standard Model include an extra gauge boson, whose couplings to fermions are constrained by the requirement that anomalies cancel. We find a general solution to the resulting diophantine equations in the plausible…
Spin excitation spectrum of the double-exchange model is studied in the presence of randomness. Spin wave approximation in the ground state shows that the randomness significantly modifies the spectrum from the cosine-like one in the pure…
We propose a method to control the number of species of lattice fermions, which yields new classes of minimally doubled lattice fermions with one exact chiral symmetry and exact locality. We classify all the known minimally doubled fermions…
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 first obtain the most general and compact parametrization of the unitary transformation diagonalizing any 3 by 3 hermitian matrix H, as a function of its elements and eigenvalues. We then study a special class of fermion mass matrices,…
We propose an improved iterative scheme for calculating higher genus contributions to the multi-loop (or multi-point) correlators and the partition function of the hermitian one matrix model. We present explicit results up to genus two. We…
We consider the discretization effects of a string-bit model simulating the near-BMN operators in the super--Yang--Mills model. The fermionic sector of this model is altered by the so called species doubling. We analyze the possibilities to…
We reexamine the connection between spin and statistics through the quantization of a complex scalar field, using the formulation with the property that the hermitian conjugate of canonical momentum for a variable is just the canonical…
We propose new infinite families of non-supersymmetric IR dualities in three space-time dimensions, between Chern-Simons gauge theories (with classical gauge groups) with both scalars and fermions in the fundamental representation. In all…
We investigate the implications of the quantized vectorial and axial charges in the lattice Hamiltonian of multi-flavor staggered fermions in $(1+1)$ dimensions. These lattice charges coincide with those of the $U(1)_V$ and $U(1)_A$ global…
