Modified Spectral Boundary conditions in the Bag Model

Abstract

We propose a reduced form of Atiah-Patodi-Singer spectral boundary conditions for odd ($d$) dimensional spatial bag evolving in even ($d+1$) dimensional space-time. The modified boundary conditions are manifestly chirally invariant and do not depend on time. This allows to apply Hamiltonian approach to confined massless fermions and study chirality effects in spatially closed volume. The modified boundary conditions are equally suitable for chiral fermions in Minkowski and Euclidean metric space-times.
