Frontiers of Lattice Fermions
Panasonic Auditorium, Yukawa Hall
YITP, Kyoto University
In recent years, alongside advances in the theoretical understanding of lattice gauge theories in the Hamiltonian formulation and of anomalies, active researches have been carried out on new formulations of lattice fermions from the perspectives of particle physics, condensed matter physics, and mathematics. This workshop brings together researchers from these typically separate communities to promote close discussions of recent developments and to stimulate new conceptual and technical progress.
Formulations of lattice fermions are constrained by the well-known Nielsen–Ninomiya theorem, which prohibits the realization of chiral fermions on the lattice under conditions such as translational invariance and locality. Nevertheless, in recent years, new approaches to lattice fermions that evade this constraint, as well as renewed studies of chiral anomalies, have been actively explored from various viewpoints.
This workshop aims to provide an overview of these developments, clarify the current status and open issues in lattice fermion and anomaly of gauge theories research centered on the Hamiltonian formulation, and foster interactions across disciplines in order to generate new research directions.
