Abstract

The perfect action of free staggered fermions is calculated by blocking from the continuum for degenerate and non-degenerate flavor masses. The symmetry structure, connecting flavor transformations and translations, is explained directly from the blocking scheme. It is convenient to use a modified Fourier transformation, respecting this connection, to treat the spin-flavor structure of the blockspins. The perfect action remains local in the non-degenerate case; it is explicitly calculated in two dimensions. I finally comment on the relation of the blocking scheme to the transition from Dirac-Kähler fermions to staggered fermions.
