  2. 1. Introduction • Exact symmetry on the lattice • Gauge symmetry • Broken symmetry on the lattice • Lorentz inv. • Chiral symmetry • SUSY ・・・・・ To improve these symmetries is important !!

  3. 1.1 Chiral Symmetries on the Lattice • Ginsparg Wilson relation • gives a redefinition of chiral symmetries on the lattice without fermion doublings. • → chiral symmetry at classical level. • Luscher’s admissibility condition • realizes topological charges on the lattice. • → understanding of quantum anomalies. Phys.Rev.D25,2649 (1982) .. Nucl.Phys.B549,295 (1999)

  4. 1.2 Effects of Admissibility Condition • Topological charge （QED on T2） （SU（2）theory on T4） • Improvement of locality of Dirac operator

  5. Continuum Case • Topologically non-trivial background on T2 （L×L） • On the boundary, another patch and transition • function are needed to define and • consistently. • Classification of transition functions • ⇒　Topological charge • Lattice Case • Topological charge can be defined by this multi- • valued field strength. • But is not defined smoothly. Following • changes are allowed. • Admissibility can prevent these transformations. • ⇒　Conservation of topological charge .　 • Lattice case • No patch is necessary for the lattice gauge fields. • The multi-valued vector potential includes the • effects of transition functions. • e.g. • Topological Charge in QED on T2

  6. action • The continuum limit is the same for any ε. ⇒　exact topological charge !! • Continuum limit of admissibility condition • without admissibility condition • under admissibility condition

  7. 1.3 Our Work Numerical Simulation under the admissibility condition • Instantons on the lattice • Improvement of chiral symmetry • θvacuum effects • U（1） problem We studied 2-dimensional vectorlike QED.

  8. 1.4 Numerical Simulation .. • Luscher’s action • Admissibility is satisfied automatically by this action. (ε＝１．０) We use the domain-wall fermion action for the fermion part. • Algorism • Hybrid Monte Carlo method (HMC) • Configurations are updated by small changes of • link variables. • ⇒ The initial topological charge is conserved.

We can compute the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the domain-wall Dirac operator numerically with Householder method and QL method . (lattice size = 16×16×6)
