arXiv:2302.12793 · doi:10.1002/andp.202300081
Abstract
I. Introduction II. Two-dimensional lattice fermions III. Methods to avoid fermion doubling (sine dispersion, sine plus cosine dispersion, staggered lattice dispersion, linear sawtooth dispersion, tangent dispersion) IV. Topologically protected Dirac cone V. Application: Klein tunneling (tangent fermions on a space-time lattice, wave packet propagation) VI. Application: Strong antilocalization (transfer matrix of tangent fermions, topological insulator versus graphene) VII. Application: Anomalous quantum Hall effect (gauge invariant tangent fermions, topologically protected zeroth Landau level) VIII. Application: Majorana metal (Dirac versus Majorana fermions, phase diagram) IX. Outlook
review article, 26 pages, 13 figures; V2: added three appendices, and provided code for the various implementations
