Staggered fermions and chiral-symmetry breaking in transverse lattice regulated QED.
Staggered fermions are constructed for the transverse lattice regularization scheme. The weak perturbation theory of transverse lattice non-compact QED is developed in lightcone gauge, and we argue that for fixed lattice spacing this theory is ultraviolet finite, order by order in perturbation theory. However, by calculating the anomalous scaling dimension of the link fields, we find that the i...
متن کاملStrongly coupled compact lattice QED with staggered fermions
We explore the compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with staggered fermions and gauge field action − ∑ P [β cos(ΘP ) + γ cos(2ΘP )], both for dynamical fermions and in the quenched approximation. (ΘP denotes the plaquette angle.) In simulations with dynamical fermions at various γ ≤ −0.2 on 64 lattices we find the energy gap at the phase transition of a size comparable to the pure gauge theory for...
متن کاملOn the Interplay of Monopoles and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Non-Compact Lattice QED
Non-compact lattice QED is simulated for various numbers of fermion species Nf ranging from 8 through 40 by the exact Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. Over this range of Nf , chiral symmetry breaking is found to be strongly correlated with the effective monopoles in the theory. For Nf between 8 and 16 the chiral symmetry breaking and monopole percolation transitions are second order and coincident...
متن کاملChiral symmetry and lattice fermions
Lattice gauge theory and chiral perturbation theory are among the primary tools for understanding non-perturbative aspects of QCD. I review several subtle and sometimes controversial issues that arise when combining these techniques. Among these are one failure of partially quenched chiral perturbation theory when the valence quarks become lighter than the average sea quark mass and a potential...
متن کاملLattice Fermions and Chiral Symmetry
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 break chiral symmetry on the lattice only through a bare mass term for the physical fermion. The chiral limit may be taken once the continuum limit is reach...
