Nondecoupling of Heavy Mirror-Fermion
Abstract
According to one-loop perturbation theory, fermions whose masses are totally generated from Yukawa couplings do not decouple in the heavy mass limit. We investigate this issue nonperturbatively in the strong coupling regime of the chiral U(1) mirror-fermion model in four dimensions. Our numerical results, obtained on 63· 16, 63· 24 and 83· 16 lattices, indicate nondecoupling of heavy fermion and mirror-fermion, thus supporting the one-loop picture.
