Contribution

The authors develop a supersymmetric, gauge-invariant lattice construction of 5D maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory free from spectrum doublers.

Findings

Lattice theory maintains supersymmetry and gauge invariance.

Spectrum doublers are eliminated in the formulation.

The approach facilitates non-perturbative analysis of the theory.

Abstract

We provide details of the lattice construction of five-dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The lattice theory is supersymmetric, gauge invariant and free from spectrum doublers. Such a supersymmetric lattice formulation is interesting as it can be used for non-perturbative explorations of the five-dimensional theory, which has a known gravitational dual.
