Field equations on fractal lattices
Description
Decimation techniques are used to study particle propagation on fractal space-time lattices. The fixed-point structure of the massive Klein-Gordon equation on a Sierpinski gasket is investigated and difficulties in studying fermions are discussed. A numerical study of staggered fermions shows that fermion doubling exists on truncated fractal lattices. (orig.)
