Lattice chiral fermions from continuum defects

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential of co-dimension two defects to generate novel lattice chiral fermions, aiming to address challenges in lattice gauge theories.

Contribution

It investigates the theoretical possibility that continuum defects of co-dimension two can give rise to new lattice chiral fermions, providing a novel approach.

Findings

Preliminary analysis suggests potential for defect-induced chiral fermions.

Framework for connecting continuum defects with lattice fermion models.

Open questions remain on the explicit realization and properties.

Abstract

We consider whether defects of co-dimension two could produce new lattice chiral fermions.
