Fermion propagators on a four-dimensional random-block lattice
Description
Fermion propagators, composite boson propagators and the fermion condensate are calculated numerically on the four-dimensional random-block lattice, respectively. The ensemble-averaged fermion propagator agrees with the continuum propagator for distances greater than three average lattice spacings. The results on the fermion condensate show that the chiral symmetry of the doubled modes is broken in the continuum limit. The Goldstone boson arising from the broken symmetry is revealed by examining the composite pseudo-scalar propagator. The doubled fermion and the Goldstone boson both acquire masses of the order of inverse lattice spacing and thus decouple from the theory in the continuum limit. (orig.)
