We reformulate the mod-two Atiyah-Patodi-Singer (APS) index in a physicist-friendly way using the domain-wall fermion. Our new formulation is given on a closed manifold, which is extended from the original manifold with boundary, where we instead give a fermion mass term changing its sign at the location of the original boundary. This new setup does not need the APS boundary condition, which is non-local. A mathematical proof of equivalence between the two different formulations is given by two different evaluations of the same index of a Dirac operator on a higher dimensional manifold. The domain-wall fermion allows us to separate the edge and bulk mode contributions in a natural but not in a gauge invariant way, which offers a straightforward description of the global anomaly inflow.
We introduce a mathematician-friendly formulation of the physicist-friendly derivation of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index of our previous paper. Our viewpoint sheds some new light on the interplay among the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary condition, domain-wall fermions, and edge modes.
In 1985, Callan and Harvey showed a view of gauge anomaly as a missing current into an extra-dimension, and the total contribution, including the Chern-Simons current in the bulk, is conserved. However in their computation, the edge and bulk contribu
The Atiyah-Patodi-Singer(APS) index theorem attracts attention for understanding physics on the surface of materials in topological phases. The mathematical set-up for this theorem is, however, not directly related to the physical fermion system, as
The charmed-strange meson spectrum is calculated with the overlap valence fermions on 2+1 flavor domain wall dynamical configurations for $32^3times 64$ lattices with a spatial size of 2.7 fm. Both charm and strange quark propagators are calculated w
We present a calculation of the strangeness and charmness contents <N|bar{s}s|N> and <N|bar{c}c|N> of the nucleon from dynamical lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors. The calculation is performed with overlap valence quarks on 2+1-flavor domain-wall fermion
