abstract

We construct a model in which four dimensional chiral fermions arise on the boundaries of a five dimensional lattice with free boundary conditions in the fifth direction. The physical content is similar to Kaplan's model of domain wall fermions, yet the present construction has several technical advantages. We discuss some aspects of perturbation theory, as well as possible applications of the model both for lattice QCD and for the on-going attempts to construct a lattice chiral gauge theory.

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.

Domain wall fermions

hep-lat · 2026-03-29 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0 · 2 refs

Domain wall fermions recover exact chiral symmetry in the infinite fifth dimension limit and produce an effective four-dimensional operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation.

Lecture notes on lattice methods for formal TASI students covering basics, confinement, chiral fermions, and case studies in the 3D Ising model and QCD.
