The graphene-inspired fermion actions recently proposed by Creutz and Borici have sparked interest in the use of non-orthogonal lattices in lattice QCD. These fermion actions have the desired chiral symmetry and have the minimal doubling…

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…

We show that noncommutative U(r) gauge theories with a chiral fermion in the adjoint representation can be constructed on the lattice with manifest star-gauge invariance in arbitrary even dimensions. Chiral fermions are implemented using a…

The Weyl fermion belonging to the real representation of the gauge group provides a simple illustrative example for L\"uscher's gauge-invariant lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories. We can explicitly construct the fermion…

Taking inspiration from lattice QCD results, we argue that a non-perturbative mass term for fermions can be generated as a consequence of the dynamical phenomenon of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, in turn triggered by the explicitly…

The Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem implies that any local, Hermitian and translationally invariant lattice action in even-dimensional spacetime possess an equal number of left- and right-handed chiral fermions. We argue that if one sacrifices the…

This paper presents a formulation of lattice fermions applicable to all quark masses, large and small. We incorporate interactions from previous light-fermion and heavy-fermion methods, and thus ensure a smooth connection to these limiting…

It is shown that an interacting theory, defined on a regular lattice, must have a vector-like spectrum if the following conditions are satisfied: (a)~locality, (b)~relativistic continuum limit without massless bosons, and (c)~pole-free…

This is a review of some elementary properties of Dirac, Weyl and Majorana spinors in 4d. We focus in particular on the differences between massless Dirac and Majorana fermions, on one side, and Weyl fermions, on the other. We review in…

Using lattice simulations we demonstrate from first principles the existence of a non-perturbative mechanism for elementary particle mass generation in models with gauge fields, fermions and scalars, if an exact invariance forbids power…

After an introduction in which we review the fundamental difficulty in constructing lattice chiral gauge theories, we discuss the analytic and numerical evidence that abelian lattice chiral gauge theories can be non-perturbatively…

We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. Motivated…

In this mini review, we discuss some recent developments regarding properties of (quantum) field-theory models containing anti-Hermitian Yukawa interactions between pseudoscalar fields (axions) and Dirac (or Majorana) fermions.…

We formulate lattice theories in which chiral symmetry is realized nonlinearly on the fermion fields. In this framework the fermion mass term does not break chiral symmetry. This property allows us to use the Wilson term to remove the…

The Yukawa-Higgs/Ginsparg-Wilson-fermion construction of chiral lattice gauge theories described in hep-lat/0605003 uses exact lattice chirality to decouple the massless chiral fermions from a mirror sector, whose strong dynamics is…

In a recent paper, Creutz has given a new action describing two species of Dirac fermions with exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. This action depends on a parameter which may be fixed at a certain value in order to get the right…

We consider a U(1) gauge theory, minimally coupled to a massless Dirac field, where a higher-derivative term is added to the pure gauge sector, as in the Lee-Wick models. We find that this term can trigger chiral symmetry breaking at low…

Lattice QCD using fermions whose Dirac operator obeys the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, is perhaps the best known formulation of QCD with a finite cutoff. It reproduces all the low energy QCD phenomenology associated with chiral symmetry at…

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…

We investigate matrix problems arising in the study of Majorana Fermions on a lattice.
