Abstract

We present evidence in the Schwinger model that rooted staggered fermions may correctly describe the m<0 sector of a theory with an odd number of flavors. We point out that in QCD-type theories with a complex-valued quark mass every non-chiral action essentially &#34;borrows&#34; knowledge about the theta-transformation properties from the overlap action.
