Search for Chiral Fermion Actions on Non-Orthogonal Lattices

چکیده
The graphene-inspired fermion actions recently proposed by Creutz and Boriçi 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 required by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. However, due to the lack of discrete symmetries, radiative corrections in the gauged lattice theory will lead to the generation of unwanted relevant and marginal operators. Other similarly motivated non-orthogonal fermion actions avoid these unwanted operators, but introduce incorrect continuum behavior or excessive fermion doubling. A delicate balance of symmetry is required for chiral symmetry, minimal doubling, and no relevant operators, and to date, no non-orthogonal lattice action has accomplished this balance.

Unquenched domain wall quarks with TSMB
Lattice actions with improved chiral properties offer the perspective of QCD simulations with a better control of chiral symmetry at non-zero lattice spacings. A prototype is the domain wall fermion action [1–3] defined on a five dimensional hypercubic lattice. Following Shamir’s formulation [3], the light chiral fermion modes are located on two boundaries of the fifth dimension. The price of t...
متن کاملExact Chiral Fermions and Finite Density on Lattice
Any μ2-divergence is shown analytically to be absent for a class of actions for Overlap and Domain Wall Fermions with nonzero chemical potential. All such actions are, however, shown to violate the chiral invariance. While the parameter M of these actions can be shown to be irrelevant in the continuum limit, as expected, it is shown numerically that the continuum limit can be reached with relat...
متن کاملPion scattering length with improved actions on anisotropic lattices
ππ scattering length in the I = 2 channel is calculated within quenched approximation using improved gauge and improved Wilson fermion actions on anisotropic lattices. The results are extrapolated towards the chiral, infinite volume and continuum limit. This result improves our previous result on the scattering length. In the chiral, infinite volume and continuum limit, we obtain a (2) 0 mπ = −...
متن کاملChiral Symmetry Restoration in Anisotropic QED3
We present results from a Monte Carlo simulation of non-compact lattice QED in 3 dimensions in which an explicit anisotropy κ between x and y hopping terms has been introduced into the action. Using a parameter set corresponding to broken chiral symmetry in the isotropic limit κ = 1, we study the chiral condensate on 16, 20, and 24 lattices as κ is varied, and fit the data to an equation of sta...
متن کاملThe Phase Diagram of 2 Flavour Qcd with Improved Actions
It has been proposed, that the chiral continuum limit of 2-flavour QCD with Wilson fermions is brought about by a phase in which flavour and parity symmetry are broken spontaneously at finite lattice spacing. At finite temperature this phase should retract from the weak coupling limit to form 5 cusps. This scenario is studied with tree level Symanzik improved actions for both gauge and fermion ...
