Fermion Number Violation and a Two-dimensional Higgs Model
The investigation of topological properties of the gauge field in a two-dimensional Higgs model can help in understanding anomalous fermion number violation. 1. A simple model for fermion number violation Fermion number, which is the sum of baryon number and lepton number (B+L), is not conserved in the Standard Model 1. This is due to the anomaly in the fermion current. The lattice formulation ...
متن کاملFour-dimensional N = 1 Supersymmetric Yang-mills Theory on the Lattice without Fine-tuning
We propose a method to formulate four-dimensional N = 1 super Yang-Mills theory on the lattice without ne-tuning. We rst show that four-dimensional Weyl fermion in a real representation, which is equivalent to Majorana fermion, can be formulated using the domain wall approach with an addition of a Majorana mass term only for the unwanted mirror fermion. This formalism has manifest gauge invaria...

متن کاملCan Baryogenesis Occur on the Lattice?
We examine the question of how baryogenesis can occur in lattice models of the Standard Model where there is a global U(1) symmetry which is accompanied by an exactly conserved fermion number. We demonstrate that fermion creation and annihilation can occur in these models despite this exact fermion number conservation, by explicitly computing the spectral flow of the hamiltonian in the two dime...
