A note on the exact lattice chiral symmetry in the overlap formalism

چکیده
Using the grassman-number-integral representation of the vacuum overlap formula, it is shown that the symmetry of the auxiliary quantum fermion system in the overlap formalism induces exact chiral symmetry of the action of the type given by Luscher under the chiral transformation δψn = γ5(1 − aD)ψn and δψ̄n = ψ̄nγ5. With this relation, we consider the connection between the covariant form of the anomaly discussed in the context of the overlap formula and the axial anomaly associated to the exact chiral symmetry in the action formalism. The covariant gauge current in the overlap formalism is translated to the action formalism and its explicit expression is obtained.

Recent Results Using the Overlap Dirac Operator
The overlap Dirac operator, derived from the overlap formalism for the special case of vector gauge theories, is a way to realize exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. Exact chiral symmetry on the lattice does come at a price – numerical implementation of the overlap Dirac operator is significantly more expensive than Wilson or staggered operator. In spite of this numerical hurdle, we already h...
متن کاملTowards QCD thermodynamics using exact chiral symmetry on lattice
The thermodynamics of massless ideal gas of overlap quarks has been investigated numerically for both zero and nonzero baryon chemical potential μ. While the parameter M has been shown to be irrelevant in the continuum limit, it is shown numerically that the continuum limit can be reached with relatively coarser lattices for certain ranges of M . Numerical limitation of the existing method of i...
متن کاملOverlap formula for the chiral multiplet
The vacuum overlap formalism is extended to describe the supersymmetric multiplet of a Weyl fermion, a complex scalar boson and an auxiliary field in the case without interaction, based on the fact that supersymmetry can be maintained upto quadratic terms by introducing bosonic species doublers. We also obtain a local action which describes the chiral multiplet and discuss its symmetry structur...
متن کاملSymmetry and Symmetry Restoration of Lattice Chiral Fermion in the Overlap Formalism
Three aspects of symmetry structure of lattice chiral fermion in the overlap formalism are discussed. By the weak coupling expansion of the overlap Dirac operator, the axial anomaly associated to the chiral transformation proposed by Lüscher is evaluated and is shown to have the correct form of the topological charge density for perturbative backgrounds. Next we discuss the exponential suppress...
متن کاملSpontaneous chiral symmetry breaking on the lattice
Using lattice QCD we study the spectrum of low-lying fermion eigenmodes. According to the Banks-Casher relation, accumulation of the low-mode is responsible for the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in the QCD vacuum. On the lattice we use the overlap fermion formulation that preserves exact chiral symmetry, which is essential for low-lying mode distributions. Through a detailed compariso...
