Isocliny in spinor space and Wilson fermions
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that Clifford algebras are closely related to the study of isoclinic subspaces of spinor spaces and, consequently, to the Hurwitz-Radon matrix problem. Isocliny angles are introduced to parametrize gamma matrices, i.e., matrix representations of the generators of finite-dimensional Clifford algebras C(m,n). Restricting the consideration to the Clifford algebra C(4, 0), this parametrization is then applied to the study of Dirac traces occurring in Euclidean lattice quantum field theory within the hopping parameter expansion for Wilson fermions.

Truncated Overlap Fermions
After many years of research in lattice QCD, it was possible to formulate QCD with chiral fermions on the lattice [1–4]. The basic idea is an expanded flavor space which may be seen as an extra dimension with left and right handed fermions defined in the two opposite boundaries or walls. Let N be the size of the extra dimension, DW the Wilson-Dirac operator, and m the bare fermion mass. Then, t...
متن کاملChiral Fermions on the Lattice
We discuss topological obstructions to putting chiral fermions on an even dimensional lattice. The setting includes Ginsparg-Wilson fermions, but is more general. We prove a theorem which relates the total chirality to the difference of generalised winding numbers of chiral projection operators. For an odd number of Weyl fermions this implies that particles and anti-particles live in topologica...
متن کاملNew approximate solutions of the Ginsparg - Wilson equation - tests in 2 - d
A new method for finding approximate solutions of the Ginsparg-Wilson equation is tested in 2-d. The Dirac operator is first constructed and then used in a dynamical simulation of the 2-flavor Schwinger model. We find a very small mass of the π-particle implying almost chirally symmetric fermions. The generalization of our method to 4-d is straightforward. Introduction The last two years have s...
متن کاملWZW action in odd dimensional gauge theories
It is shown that Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) type actions can be constructed in odd dimensional space-times using Wilson line or Wilson loop. WZW action constructed using Wilson line gives anomalous gauge variations and the WZW action constructed using Wilson loop gives anomalous chiral transformation. We show that pure gauge theory including Yang-Mills action, Chern-Simons action and the WZW acti...
متن کاملJ un 1 99 3 Fixed Point Actions for Wilson Fermions U . - J . Wiese
Iterating renormalization group transformations for lattice fermions the Wilson action is driven to fixed points of the renormalization group. A line of fixed points is found and the fixed point actions are computed analytically. They are local and may be used to improve scaling in lattice QCD. The action at the line's endpoint is chirally invariant and still has no fermion doubling. The Nielse...
