Parity Invariant Lattice Regularization of Three-Dimensional Gauge-Fermion System
Abstract
The effective action for the gauge field induced by integrating out a massless Dirac fermion is known to give either a parity-invariant or a parity-violating result, depending on the regularization scheme. The two classes of theories cannot be connected by adding local terms in the gauge field. We construct a lattice formulation of the massless Dirac fermion using the overlap formalism. We show that the result is parity invariant in contrast to the formulation using Wilson fermions in the massless limit. This facilitates a non-perturbative study of three dimensional massless Dirac fermions interacting with a gauge field in a parity invariant setting with no need for fine-tuning.Keywords
