Dirac-Kaehler fermion with noncommutative differential forms on a lattice

Abstract

Noncommutativity between a differential form and a function allows us to define differential operator satisfying Leibniz's rule on a lattice. We propose a new associative Clifford product defined on the lattice by introducing the noncommutative differential forms. We show that this Clifford product naturally leads to the Dirac-K\"ahler fermion on the lattice.
