Hamiltonian domain wall fermions at strong coupling

Abstract

We apply strong-coupling perturbation theory to gauge theories containing domain-wall fermions in Shamir's surface version. We construct the effective Hamiltonian for the color-singlet degrees of freedom that constitute the low-lying spectrum at strong coupling. We show that the effective theory is identical to that derived from naive, doubled fermions with a mass term, and hence that domain-wall fermions at strong coupling suffer both doubling and explicit breaking of chiral symmetry. Since we employ a continuous fifth dimension whose extent tends to infinity, our result applies to overlap fermions as well.
