abstract

The fixed point Dirac operator on the lattice has exact chiral zero modes on topologically non-trivial gauge field configurations independently whether these configurations are smooth, or coarse. The relation $n_L-n_R = Q^{FP}$, where $n_L$ $(n_R)$ is the number of left (right)-handed zero modes and $Q^{FP}$ is the fixed point topological charge holds not only in the continuum limit, but also at finite cut-off values. The fixed point action, which is determined by classical equations, is local, has no doublers and complies with the no-go theorems by being chirally non-symmetric. The index theorem is reproduced exactly, nevertheless. In addition, the fixed point Dirac operator has no small real eigenvalues except those at zero, i.e. there are no 'exceptional configurations'.

  1. Bosonization versus the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    The 2D modified Villain model's Weyl operators reproduce free Dirac correlations in the continuum, and their no-doubler Dirac kernel is non-local, showing exactly how bosonization evades the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem.

  2. HMC and gradient flow with machine-learned classically perfect fixed-point actions

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A machine-learned fixed-point action for 4D SU(3) gauge theory is simulated with HMC and shows greatly reduced lattice artifacts in gradient-flow scale setting.
