Domain-wall fermions and chiral symmetries
Abstract
We investigate chiral properties of the domain-wall fermion (DWF) system. After a brief introduction for the DWF, we summarize the recent numerical results on the chiral properties of the domain-wall QCD (DWQCD), which seem mutually inconsistent. We next derive a formula which connects a chiral symmetry breaking term in the five dimensional DWF Ward-Takahashi identity with the four-dimensional hermitian Wilson-Dirac operator. Based on this formula, we propose a solution, which resolves the inconsistency among recent numerical data, and give a consistent picture of the chiral properties of the DWQCD.
