Lattice Fermions without Doublers

Abstract

By placing fermions only on the even sites of a lattice, one may halve the momentum spectrum and construct a theory without doublers. The interaction is nonlocal. The fermion propagator is not a sparse matrix, but because the unwanted fermionic states are absent from the formalism, it is 256 times smaller than the usual propagator.
