Ginsparg-Wilson Relation and Ultralocality

Abstract

It is shown that it is impossible to construct a free theory of fermions on infinite hypercubic Euclidean lattice in four dimensions that is: (a) ultralocal, (b) respects symmetries of hypercubic lattice, (c) corresponding kernel satisfies D gamma5 + gamma5 D = D gamma5 D (Ginsparg-Wilson relation), (d) describes single species of massless Dirac fermions in the continuum limit.
