A Ginsparg-Wilson approach to lattice CP symmetry, Weyl and Majoranna fermions, and the Higgs mechanism

Abstract

Recently, two solutions have been proposed to the long standing problem of $\mathcal{CP}$-symmetry on the lattice, which is particularly evident when considering the construction of chiral gauge theories. The first, based on a lattice modification of $\mathcal{CP}$ was presented by Igarashi and Pawlowski; the second by myself using the renormalisation group and Ginsparg-Wilson relation. In this work, I combine the two approaches and show that they are each part of a more general framework related to an underlying renormalisation group. I continue by formulating Weyl and Majorana fermions on the lattice, and discussing applications to the fermion propagator in the presence of the Higgs field.
