The Baxter 8-vertex model is equivalent to a particular lattice formulation of a self-interacting, massive Dirac fermion theory. In the time-continuum limit, the lattice Hamiltonian (XYZ spin chain) can be explicitly transformed to a…

We present a method for formulating gauge theories of chiral fermions in lattice field theory. The method makes use of a Wilson mass to remove doublers. Gauge invariance is then restored by modifying the theory in two ways: the magnitude of…
Recently, two solutions have been proposed to the long standing problem of $\mathcal{CP}$-symmetry on the lattice, which is particularly evident when considering the construction of chiral gauge theories. The first, based on a lattice…
We present a chiral solution of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation. This work is motivated by our recent proposal for nonperturbatively regulating chiral gauge theories, where five-dimensional domain wall fermions couple to a four-dimensional…
The Ginsparg-Wilson relation, if written in a suitable form, can be used as a condition for lattice Dirac operators of massless fermions also in odd dimensions. The fermion action with such a Dirac operator is invariant under a generalized…
We give a general derivation of Ginsparg-Wilson relations for both Dirac and Majorana fermions in any dimension. These relations encode continuous and discrete chiral, parity and time reversal anomalies and will apply to the various classes…

The CP symmetry is a fundamental discrete symmetry in chiral gauge theory. Therefore this symmetry is expected to be kept also on the lattice. However, it has been pointed out by Hasenfratz that the chiral fermion action in Luscher's…
