Chiral Schwinger Model and Lattice Fermionic Regularizations

Abstract
The chiral Schwinger model is studied on the lattice with use of Wilson fermions. The arbitrary mass term for the gauge boson is shown to originate from the arbitrariness of the Wilson parameter, which is required to avoid the doubling phenomenon on the lattice. The necessity for such a term is thus demonstrated in contrast to the mere admissibility as indicated by previous continuum calculations.
