A few years ago some attention has been given to a fermionic action on the lattice, with a Wilson-like term which is chirally invariant but breaks the hypercubic space-time lattice symmetry. This action describes two Dirac fields in the…
I point out two of the subtleties referred to in the title. The first is that gauge-invariant magnetic systems may realized under general circumstances, as suggested by a simple theorem. The second subtlety is that care is needed to…

We discuss Dyson's argument that the vacuum is unstable under a change g^2 -> - g^2, in the context of lattice gauge theory. For compact gauge groups, the partition function is well defined at negative g^2, but the average plaquette P has a…
