Domain wall fermions and applications
Abstract
Domain wall fermions provide a complimentary alternative to traditional lattice fermion approaches. By introducing an extra dimension, the amount of chiral symmetry present in the lattice theory can be controlled in a linear way. This results in improved chiral properties as well as robust topological zero modes. A brief introduction on the subject and a discussion of chiral properties and applications, such as zero and finite temperature QCD, N = 1 Super Yang-Mills, and four-fermion theories, is presented. © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
