Karsten-Wilczek (KW) fermions are a popular variant of minimally doubled fermions. We construct Symanzik effective action for KW fermions, which is known to break the hypercubic symmetry of the lattice action. In this work we make the two…
I discuss minimally doubled fermions fermions as an ultra-local formulation on the lattice for sea quarks that realize a non-singlet chiral symmetry. I introduce a non-singlet mass term for Karsten-Wilczek fermions and identify the…
Minimally doubled fermions realize one degenerate pair of Dirac fermions on the lattice. Similarities to staggered fermions exist, namely, spin and taste degrees of freedom become intertwined, and a remnant, non-singlet chiral symmetry and…
Recently, the interest in local lattice actions for chiral fermions has revived, with the proposition of new local actions in which only the minimal number of doublers appear. The trigger role of graphene having a minimally doubled,…
We construct the chiral effective Lagrangian for two lattice theories: one with Wilson fermions and the other with Wilson sea fermions and Ginsparg-Wilson valence fermions. For each of these theories we construct the Symanzik action through…
For thermodynamics studies it is desirable to simulate two degenerate flavors and retain at least a remnant of the chiral symmetry. Staggered fermions can achieve this at the cost of rooting the determinant. Rooting can be avoided using…
We use the two-dimensional Schwinger model to investigate how lattice fermions perceive the global topological charge $q\in\mathbf{Z}$ of a given gauge background $U$. After a warm-up part devoted to staggered, Adams, Wilson and naive…
Minimally doubled fermions realize one pair of Dirac fermions on the lattice. Similarities to Kogut-Susskind fermions exist, namely, spin and taste degrees of freedom become intertwined, and a peculiar non-singlet chiral symmetry and…
The Karsten-Wilczek action is a formulation of minimally doubled fermions on the lattice. It explicitly breaks hypercubic symmetry and introduces three counterterms with respective bare parameters. We present a tuning of the bare parameters…
The chiral properties of lattice fermions can be improved by altering either their fermion-gauge coupling or the pure gauge part of the action (or both). Using both perturbation theory and nonperturbative simulation, we compare a simple…
We present the lattice formulation of effective Lagrangians in which chiral symmetry is realized nonlinearly on the fermion fields. In this framework both the Wilson term removing unphysical doubler fermions and the fermion mass term do not…
Single fermionic degrees of freedom together with standard chiral symmetry at finite lattice spacing, correct continuum limit and local interactions only are precluded by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. The class of minimally doubled…
Minimally doubled fermion actions offer a discretization for two-flavor Quantum Chromodynamics without rooting, but retaining a U(1) chiral symmetry at the same time. The price to pay is a breaking of the hypercubic symmetry, which requires…
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…
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…
In this paper, we present the recent progress on minimally doubled lattice actions. In particular, we discuss the proposal of Creutz and its variations on an orthogonal lattice. A preliminary computation of the pion mass on an SU(3)…
We propose a new formulation of chiral fermions on a lattice, on the basis of a lattice extension of the covariant regularization scheme in continuum field theory. The species doublers do not emerge. The real part of the effective action is…
We combine a pair of independent Weyl fermions to compose a Dirac fermion on the four-dimensional Euclidean lattice. The obtained Dirac operator is antihermitian and does not reproduce anomaly under the usual chiral transformation. To…
We propose a new framework for investigating two-flavor lattice QCD with finite temperature and density by applying the Karsten-Wilczek lattice fermion, in which a species-dependent imaginary chemical potential can reduce the number of…
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…
