Staggered Domain Wall Fermions

چکیده
Staggered Domain Wall Fermions (SDWF) combine the attractive chiral properties of staggered fermions with those of domain wall fermions. SDWF describe four flavors with exact U(1)×U(1) flavor chiral symmetry. An extra lattice dimension is introduced and the full SU(4)×SU(4) flavor chiral symmetry is recovered as its size is increased. Here, the free theory of SDWF is described and a preliminary discussion of the interacting case is presented. SDWF may be well suited for numerical simulation of lattice QCD thermodynamics.

The staggered domain wall fermion method
A different lattice fermion method is introduced. Staggered domain wall fermions are defined in 2n + 1 dimensions and describe 2 flavors of light lattice fermions with exact U(1)×U(1) chiral symmetry in 2n dimensions. As the size of the extra dimension becomes large, 2 chiral flavors with the same chiral charge are expected to be localized on each boundary and the full SU(2n)×SU(2n) flavor chir...
متن کاملMatching coefficients for improved staggered bilinears ∗
We calculate one-loop matching factors for bilinear operators composed of improved staggered fermions. We compare the results for different improvement schemes used in the recent literature, including the HYP action and an action close to the Asqtad action. We find that all improvement schemes substantially reduce the size of the one-loop contributions to matching factors. The resulting correct...
متن کاملReview of Unquenched Results
One of the major frontiers of lattice field theory is the inclusion of light fermions in simulations, particularly in pursuit of accurate, first principles predictions from lattice QCD. With dedicated Teraflops-scale computers currently simulating QCD, another step towards precision full QCD simulations is underway. In addition to ongoing staggered and Wilson fermion simulations, first results ...
متن کاملImprovement of the pion spectrum with HYP-smeared staggered fermions
We extend our previous study of taste-symmetry breaking using HYP-smeared staggered fermions in two ways. First, we improve the statistics of a comparison of unimproved and HYP-smeared staggered fermions on quenched lattices with a ≈ 0.1 fm. This allows us to obtain a signal for all pion tastes, rather than just a subset, and thus to make a complete comparison. In addition, it allows us to diff...
متن کاملTOWARD THE CHIRAL LIMIT OF QCD: Quenched and Dynamical Domain Wall Fermions
A serious difficulty in conventional lattice field theory calculations is the coupling between the chiral and continuum limits. With both staggered and Wilson fermions, the chiral limit cannot be realized without first taking the limit of vanishing lattice spacing. In this talk, we report on extensive studies of the domain wall formulation of lattice fermions, which avoids this difficulty at th...
