Description

It is shown that it is impossible to construct a free theory of fermions on infinite hypercubic Euclidean lattice in four dimensions that (a) is ultralocal, (b) respects symmetries of hypercubic lattice, (c) has a corresponding kernel that satisfies Dγ5+γ5D=Dγ5D (Ginsparg-Wilson relation), and (d) describes a single species of massless Dirac fermions in the continuum limit. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
