Fermion mutilation on a body-centered tesseract

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We construct a chiral Lagrangian on a body-centered four-dimensional hypercubic lattice. A form of fermion doubling is observed in the continuum limit. However, because some of the spurious excitations do not propagate as particles, the resulting continuum field theory is not Lorentz invariant.
