Bodwin, G T; Kovacs, E V

We show that the four-dimensional version of the chiral lattice fermion scheme proposed by Aoki and Funakubo and Kashiwa leads, in the continuum limit, to a transverse, but quadratically divergent, contribution to the effective vacuum polarization. Hence, the scheme does not make sense without the addition of counterterms beyond those that are required in the continuum theory. 10 refs., 3 figs.
