abstract

Fermions moving in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice (graphene) have, at low energies, chiral symmetry. Generalizing this construction to four dimensions potentially provides fermions with chiral symmetry and only the minimal fermion doubling demanded by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. The practical usefulness of such fermions hinges on whether the action has a necessary set of discrete symmetries of the lattice. If this is the case, one avoids the generation of dimension three and four operators which require fine tuning. We construct hyperdiamond lattice actions with enough symmetries to exclude fine tuning; however, they produce multiple doublings. The limit where the actions exhibit minimal doubling does not possess the requisite symmetry.

Minimal-doubling and single-Weyl Hamiltonians

hep-lat · 2025-12-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Minimal-doubling lattice fermion Hamiltonians yield single-Weyl phases when supplemented by a species-splitting mass term, but one-parameter symmetry-preserving deformations introduce additional Weyl nodes above a critical value.
