Creutz Fermions on an Orthogonal Lattice

Abstract

In a recent paper, Creutz has given a new action describing two species of Dirac fermions with exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. This action depends on a parameter which may be fixed at a certain value in order to get the right continuum limit. In this letter, we elaborate more on this idea and present an action which is free of any other parameter except the fermion mass.
