Hamiltonian Renormalisation VII: Free fermions and doubler free kernels

Abstract

The Hamiltonian renormalisation programme motivated by constructive QFT and Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction which was recently launched for bosonic field theories is extended to fermions. As fermion quantisation is not in terms of measures, the scheme has to be mildly modified accordingly. We exemplify the scheme for free fermions both for compact and non-compact spatial topologies respectively (i.e. with and without IR cut-off) and demonstrate that the convenient Dirichlet or Shannon coarse graining kernels recently advertised in a companion paper lead to a manifestly doubler free flow.
