Lattice QCD with Suppressed High Momentum Modes of the Dirac Operator
Abstract
Description
I define lattice fermions in five Euclidean dimensions and the corresponding effective theory in four dimensions. The main properties of these theories include the suppression of high momentum modes of the lattice Dirac operator and their ability to continuously interpolate between quenched and dynamical fermions. In particular, the standard formulation of lattice QCD can be viewed as a limiting case of the theory.
