Chiral zero modes on the domain-wall model in 4+1 dimensions

Abstract

We investigate an original domain-wall model in 4+1 dimensions numerically in the presence of U(1) dynamical gauge field only in an extra dimension, corresponding to a weak coupling limit of 4-dimensional physical gauge coupling. Using a quenched approximation we carry out numerical simulation for this model at ${\beta }_s(=1/g_s^2)=$ 0.29 (``symmetric'' phase) and 0.5 (``broken'' phase), where $g_s$ is the gauge coupling constant of the extra dimension. In the broken phase, we found that there exists a critical value of a domain-wall mass $m_0^c$ which separates a region with a fermionic zero mode on the domain wall from the one without it in the same case of (2+1)-dimensional model. On the other hand, in the symmetric phase, our numerical data suggest that the chiral zero modes disappear in the infinite limit of 4-dimensional volume. From these results it seems difficult to construct the U(1) lattice chiral gauge theory via an original domain-wall formulation.
