A modified crossed-domain-wall axion string on an N=28 periodic lattice produces an unpaired, single-chirality Weyl fermion branch, extending the Kaplan-Sen disk construction to string defects.

abstract
We present a lattice gauge-fixing action $S_{gf}$ with the following properties: (a) $S_{gf}$ is proportional to the trace of $(\sum_\mu \partial_\mu A_\mu)^2$, plus irrelevant terms of dimension six and higher; (b) $S_{gf}$ has a unique absolute minimum at $U_{x,\mu}=I$. Noting that the gauge-fixed action is not BRST invariant on the lattice, we discuss some important aspects of the phase diagram.

Unpaired Weyl fermion on an axion string in a finite lattice
A modified crossed-domain-wall axion string on an N=28 periodic lattice produces an unpaired, single-chirality Weyl fermion branch, extending the Kaplan-Sen disk construction to string defects.
