The present work rigorously proves for the first time that the Wilson term correctly reproduces the chiral anomaly. \end{abstract} \mparr {\bf Running title:} Mathematical Derivation of Chiral Anomaly % \input anom.1 %=================================================== \section{Introduction} %=================================================== It is widely believed that continuum limit of a lattice regularized theory of quantized fermion gives the correct chiral anomaly \cite{A,B,BJ} if we have Wilson terms in the lattice fermion action \cite{W}. Since Karsten and Smit \cite{KS} observed this fact by a perturbative argument, there appeared mathematically more careful analyses \cite{K,SS}, in which it was claimed that the Wilson fermion has the expected continuum limit and gives the correct chiral anomaly under some mathematical ansatz on perturbative expansions. However, a further investigation on the validity of the ansatz has not been published so far, and from a mathematical view point, a proof that Wilson's formalism for lattice fermion is a correct scheme giving the expected anomaly, has not been completed. On the other hand, in modern physics, the Wilson fermion provides not only a mathematical basis for analytic investigations but also a practical scheme for numerical studies on Euclidean quantum field theories including fermions. In view of this, we cannot help asking for a mathematically rigorous proof that the Wilson term correctly reproduces the chiral anomaly in the continuum limit. In the present paper, we study Wilson's formalism for a Euclidean lattice fermion coupled to a smooth external $U(1)$ gauge field defined on an even dimensional torus and derive the expected chiral anomaly in the continuum limit with mathematical rigor. The present work rigorously proves for the first time that the Wilson term correctly reproduces the chiral anomaly. We summarize below three essential mathematical problems in the present study and the strategies to solve the problems. \mparr % {\it 1. Chiral oscillation.\ } Let $\torus=(a\integer/L\integer)^d$ be a discrete torus with period $L$ and lattice spacing $a$, where $L/a$ is a positive integer. We denote by $\dV$ the vector space consisting of all functions $u\,:\,\torus \longrightarrow \f$ defined on $\torus$ with values in the `fibre' $\f$. The vacuum expectation of divergence of chiral current, which is our main quantity of interest, is written in the form of $\Tr(K\gamma_{d+1})$, where $K$ is an operator acting on $\dV$, and $\gamma_{d+1}$ is the chirality in $d$ dimensions (see \equ{H0H1}). [Note that $\gamma_{d+1}$ is regarded as an operator acting on $\dV$ instead of the fibre $\f$ and therefore the multiplicities of the eigenvalues $\pm1$ are not uniformly bounded in the lattice spacing $a$.] To take the trace, we choose, as in \cite{K,SS}, the `planewave basis', i.e. the set of eigenfunctions of the (free) translations on the lattice (see \equ{planewavebasis}). Though this choice may be standard, it should be underlined because the Wilson term is too weak to make the {\em trace norm} of $K\gamma_{d+1}$ uniformly bounded in the lattice spacing $a$. In other words, it is essential to `cancel' (see e.g. \equ{zjto0}) the highly degenerate positive and negative eigenvalues of $\gamma_{d+1}$ (the `chiral oscillation') before taking the continuum limit. The planewave basis is convenient for this purpose. \mparr % {\bf Strategy 1:} {\it Take the trace with respect to the planewave basis in order to explicitly cancel the chiral oscillation.} It may be illustrative to compare the situation with a previous related work by one of the authors \cite{Wat,WYPJA,WYLMP}. There, the chiral oscillation is controlled by introducing an additional heat-kernel regularization, with which the operator in question lies in the trace class, and the continuum limit can be taken without explicit cancellation of chiral oscillation. As a result, the index of the continuum Dirac operator appears, which is equal to the Chern class by the index theorem \cite{ABP}, hence the proof is completed. \mparr % {\it 2. Perturbative expansion. } After performing the fermion integration, we have a formula with inverse of operators (see \equ{firsttrace}). If we try to expand the inverse operators perturbatively, the convergence of the expansion becomes a problem, as is usual with formal perturbation series. For example, the operator $C$ defined in \equ{C} is decomposed as \eqb C &=& C_0+C_1 \eqe into a {\em free part} $C_0$ (for vanishing gauge potentials) and an {\em interaction part} $C_1$, but the Neumann series \eqb\eqa{neumannC} C^{-1}&=&\sum_{\ell=0}^{\infty}(-C_0^{-1}C_1)^\ell C_0^{-1} \eqe is not absolutely convergent, unless the gauge field is sufficiently small. The following idea was suggeted in \cite{SS} without details: \mparr % {\bf Strategy 2:} {\it Terminate a perturbative expansion of inverse operator up to a finite order, and use `positivity' to control the remainder terms.} \mparr % Namely, we use an identity \eqb\eqa{finiteexp} C^{-1}&=&C_0^{-1}+\sum_{j=1}^{m-1}(-C_0^{-1}C_1)^jC_0^{-1} +(-C_0^{-1}C_1)^mC^{-1}\ ,\quad m=1,2,\dots\ , \eqe for a sufficiently large $m$. What we need is the power-counting property of the operator $(-C_0^{-1}C_1)^j$, and an {\it a priori bound} arising from positivity of $C$, to control the remainder terms. See \secu{ndo} and \secu{order} for details. It may be suggestive to note that remainder estimates based on {\it positivity} is used in the convergence proof of cluster expansions in constructive field theory. \mparr % {\it 3. Power counting.} The strategy 2 should be accompanied by a rigorous power-counting argument. Furthermore, we need asymptotic estimates of operators, when we take the continuum limit. Our last point is to employ the power-counting arguments with mathematical rigor in order to extract the asymptotic behaviors. \mparr % {\bf Strategy 3:} {\it Show and use the fact that the operators in question are `quasi diagonal' with respect to the planewave basis. } \mparr % The class of {\it quasi diagonal operators} defined in \secu{ndo} is closed with respect to the summation and the product, and, under a simple assumption, it is also closed with respect to the inverse operation. This calculus, which is a systematic arrangement of the asymptotic analysis of lattice operators in the spirit of power-counting, fits our analysis in this paper well. The smoothness assumption on the gauge fields is of relevance here. See \secu{ndo} for details. \mparr According to the above strategies, we take the continuum limit of $\Tr(K\gamma_{d+1})$ and confirm that the Wilson fermion gives the correct chiral anomaly. This paper is organized as follows. We describe the model and state the result (\thmu{maintheorem}) in Section 2. \thmu{maintheorem} is proved in the subsequent sections. In Section 3, we derive the expression of chiral anomaly in the form of chiral oscillation. Section 4 is devoted to the calculus of quasi diagonal operators. In Section 5, we apply the framework of Section 4 to several operators and determine their orders. The proof of \thmu{maintheorem} is completed in Section 6. The propositions in Section 3 and Section 6 may guide the readers who wish to have an overview of our argument. % \input anom.2 %=================================================== \section{Problem and Result}\seca{result} %=================================================== In this section, we formulate the problem and then state the result in \thmu{maintheorem}. %--------------------- \subsection{Notation} %--------------------- Let $\torus$ be a discrete torus with lattice spacing $a$ and period $L$. Throught this paper, we assume that $00$ is the fermion mass and $r$ is a positive constant.\footnote{% Our analysis allows any $r>0$, but the proof of reflection positivity \cite{S} requires $00,$ or $C=C^{(a)}, a>0$. \bparr % {\bf Definition.}\ Let $k=k(a,p), p\in\torus^*,$ be a non-negative function satisfying \eqb\eqa{nd2} k(a,p) &\le& c(1+\dist{p-q})^\tau k(a,q)\ ,\ p,q\in\torus^*, \eqe for some constants $c$ and $\tau$ independent of $a,p,$ and $q$. Then, for a family of linear operators $K^{(a)}$ on $\dV$, we say that $K^{(a)}$ is {\it a quasi diagonal operator of the order \/} $k$ and write $K^{(a)}=\O(k)$, if \eqb\eqa{nd1} |(u_{\alpha p},K^{(a)}u_{\beta q})| &\le& c_\sigma \dfrac{k(a,p)}{(1+\dist{p-q})^\sigma}\ , \eqe holds for all $\sigma\ge0$, $p,q\in\torus^*$, and $\alpha, \beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}$. Here the constant $c_\sigma$ may depend on $\sigma$ but not on $a,p,q,\alpha, \beta$. \bparr % Note that \equ{nd2} and \equ{nd1} imply \eqb |(u_{\alpha p},K^{(a)}u_{\beta q})| &\le& c'_\sigma \dfrac{k(a,q)}{(1+\dist{p-q})^\sigma} \eqa{nd1'} \eqe for another constant $c'_\sigma$. In other words, \eqb K^{(a)}=\O(k) &\Longrightarrow& {K^{(a)}}^*=\O(k). \eqe In the following, we often suppress writing $a$-dependences of operators explicitly and write $K$ instead of $K^{(a)}$. Then we will simply say that $K$ is quasi diagonal and write $K=\O(k)$. %------------------------ \subsection{Free parts and multiplication operators} %------------------------ Define the `free parts' of $D_\mu, W, L,$ and $C$ by \eqb D_{\mu0}&=&\dfrac{1}{2a}(T_{\mu0}-T_{\mu0}^*),\\ W_0&=&-\sum_{\mu=1}^{d}(2-T_{\mu0}-T_{\mu0}^*),\\ L_0&=&MI-\dfrac{r}{2a}W_0,\\ C_0&=&L_0-\sum_{\mu=1}^{d}L_0^{-1}D_{\mu0}^2, \eqe respectively. A free part of an operator is equal to the operator when the gauge potentials $A_\mu, \mu=1,2,\dots,d,$ vanish. The free part of $B$ vanishes. Since $-W_0$ is semi-positive (see \equ{uWu}), $L_0$ and $C_0$ are positive definite and therefore invertible. These operators are {\it exactly diagonal} with respect to the planewave basis and are the first examples of quasi diagonal operators. \bparr % \lemb\lema{freeparts} We have the following. \eqb T_{\mu0} &=& \O(1),\eqa{ndT0}\\ T_{\mu0}-I &=& \O(a(1+\dist{p})),\eqa{ndT0-I}\\ D_{\mu0} &=& \O(1+\dist{p}),\eqa{ndD0}\\ W_0 &=& \O(a^2(1+\dist{p}^2)),\eqa{ndW0}\\ L_0 &=& \O(1+a\dist{p}^2),\eqa{ndL0}\\ L_0^{-1} &=& \O(\dfrac{1}{1+a\dist{p}^2}),\eqa{ndL0inv}\\ C_0 &=& \O(\dfrac{1+\dist{p}^2}{1+a\dist{p}^2}),\eqa{ndC0}\\ C_0^{-1} &=& \O(\dfrac{1+a\dist{p}^2}{1+\dist{p}^2})\eqa{ndC0inv}. \eqe \leme\bparr % \prfb \equ{ndT0}-\equ{ndW0} follow from \eqb T_{\mu0}u_{\alpha p} &=& e^{iap_\mu}u_{\alpha p}, \\ D_{\mu0}u_{\alpha p} &=& \dfrac{i}{a}\sin(ap_\mu)u_{\alpha p}, \\ W_{\mu0}u_{\alpha p} &=& -2\sum_{\mu=1}^{d} (1-\cos(ap_\mu))u_{\alpha p}. \eqa{Wp} \eqe For example, if $K=T_{\mu0}-I$, then \equ{nd1} is satisfied by putting $k(a,p)=a\dist{p}$. We add extra `1' in \equ{ndT0-I} in order to ensure \equ{nd2}: the function $k(a,p)=a(1+\dist{p})$ satisfies \equ{nd2}, because \eqb 1+\dist{q+r} &\le& 1+\dist{q}+\dist{r} \nonumber\\ &\le& (1+\dist{r})(1+\dist{q}), \ q,r\in\torus^*. \eqe For the case $K=W_0$, we need \eqb 1+\dist{q+r}^2 &\le& 1+2(\dist{q}^2+\dist{r}^2) \nonumber\\ &\le& 2(1+\dist{r}^2)(1+\dist{q}^2), \ q,r\in\torus^*. \eqe The other bounds are shown by using \eqb L_0u_{\alpha p} &=& \left(M+\dfrac{r}{2a}\sum_{\mu=1}^d(1-\cos ap_{\mu})\right) u_{\alpha p}, \\ C_0u_{\alpha p} &=& \left(M+\dfrac{r}{2a}\sum_{\mu=1}^d(1-\cos ap_{\mu}) +\dfrac{\displaystyle\sum_{\mu=1}^d \dfrac{1}{a^2}\sin^2 ap_{\mu}} {M+\dfrac{r}{2a}\sum_{\mu=1}^d(1-\cos ap_{\mu})}\right)u_{\alpha p}. \eqe \prfe\bparr % A multiplication operator determined by a smooth function on $\T^d$ is another example of quasi diagonal operators. % \lemb\lema{smoothfunction} Let $\phi$ be a multiplication operator defined by \eqb \phi u(x) &=& \varphi(x)u(x)\ ,\ x\in\torus, u\in\dV, \eqe for a complex valued smooth (periodic) function $\varphi(x)$ on the continuum torus $\T^d$. Then, we have $\phi=\O(1)$. \par Furthermore, $\phi=\O(1)$ holds, if $\phi$ is defined by \eqb \phi u(x) &=& \varphi_a(x)u(x)\ ,\ x\in\torus, u\in\dV, \eqa{latter1}\eqe for a family of functions $\varphi_a(x)$ on $\T^d$ that are `uniformly smooth', i.e. \eqb \sup_{x\in\T^d}|\partial^\alpha\varphi_a(x)|&<&c^{(\alpha)}\ ,\ \alpha=(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_d)\in\{0,1,2,\dots\}^d, \eqa{latter2}\eqe where $\{c^{(\alpha)}\mid \alpha\in\{0,1,\cdots\}^d\}$ is a family of constants independent of $a$, and $\partial^\alpha$ stands for $\prod_{k=1}^d\partial^{\alpha_k}_k$. \leme\bparr % \prfb We show the first part of the lemma. Since $\varphi(x)$ is smooth and satisfies \eqb (u_{\alpha p}, \phi u_{\beta q}) &=& \delta_{\alpha\beta}a^d\sum_{x\in\torus}e^{i(q-p)x}\varphi(x),\ \alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}, p,q\in\torus^*, \eqe there exists $c_\sigma$ such that \eqb |(u_{\alpha p},\phi u_{\beta q})| &\le& \dfrac{c_\sigma }{(1+\dist{p-q})^\sigma}\ , \sigma\ge0 \eqe for $p,q\in\torus^*$ and for $\alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}$. Then, $K_a=\phi$ and $k(a,p)=1$ satisfy \equ{nd2} and \equ{nd1}. The other part of the lemma can be proved in a similar way. \prfe % %------------------------ \subsection{Basic properties} %------------------------ The class of quasi diagonal operators is closed with respect to summation, product, and the inverse operation in the following sense. \bparr % \lemb\lema{sumproduct} Let $K_j=\O(k_j), j=1,2$. Then, we have $K_1+K_2=\O(k_1+k_2)$ and $K_1K_2=\O(k_1k_2)$. \leme\bparr % The proof is given in \secu{sumproduct}. Note that, when we say $K=\O(k)$, it is implied that $k$ has the property \equ{nd2} with some constants $c,\tau$. \bparr % \lemb\lema{inverseoperation} Suppose that $K=K_0+K_1$ satisfies the following, where `$\const$' stands for some positive constant independent of $a$ and $p$: \begin{enumerate} \item There exists $k_0$ satisfying \eqb\eqa{k0} k_0(p) &\le& \const (1+\dist{p})^{\nu}\ ,\ p\in\torus^*, \eqe for some constant $\nu$ independent of $a$ and $p$, such that $K_0$ is exactly of the order $k_0$ in the sense that $K_0=\O(k_0)$ and $K_0^{-1}=\O(1/k_0)$ hold. \item $K_1$ is of a lower order than $K_0$ in the sense that $K_1=\O(k_1)$ and \eqb\eqa{k1/k0} \dfrac{k_1(p)}{k_0(p)} &\le& \const(1+\dist{p})^{-\delta}\ ,\ p\in\torus^*, \eqe for some constant $\delta>0$ independent of $a$ and $p$. \item $K^{-1}$ exists and is uniformly bounded, i.e., \eqb\eqa{boundonKinv} \norm{K^{-1}} &=& \mathop{\sup_{u\in\dV}}_{u\neq0} \dfrac{\norm{K^{-1}u}}{\norm{u}} \le c \eqe for some constant $c$ independent of $a$. \end{enumerate} Then we have $K^{-1}=\O(1/k_0)$. \leme\bparr % The proof is given in \secu{inverseoperation}. By means of \lemu{sumproduct} and \lemu{inverseoperation}, we can estimate traces on $\dV$ using the order of operators. As may be seen explicitly from \lemu{freeparts}, such estimates provide a mathematical justification of the power counting argument. %------------------------ \subsection{Proof of Lemma 4.3}\seca{sumproduct} %------------------------ Let us first show $K_1+K_2=\O(k_1+k_2)$. Assume \eqb k_1(a,p) &\le& c_1(1+\dist{p-q})^{\tau_1}k_1(a,q)\ ,\\ k_2(a,p) &\le& c_2(1+\dist{p-q})^{\tau_2}k_2(a,q)\ , \eqa{k2}\\ |(u_{\alpha p},K_1u_{\beta q})| &\le& c_{1\sigma}\dfrac{k_1(a,p)}{(1+\dist{p-q})^\sigma}\ ,\eqa{K1}\\ |(u_{\alpha p},K_2u_{\beta q})| &\le& c_{2\sigma}\dfrac{k_2(a,p)}{(1+\dist{p-q})^\sigma}\ ,\eqa{K2} \eqe for $\sigma\ge0,\ p,q\in\torus^*$, and for $\alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}$. Then, putting $K=K_1+K_2, k=k_1+k_2, \tau=\max(\tau_1,\tau_2), c=\max(c_1,c_2),$ and $c_\sigma=\max(c_{1\sigma},c_{2\sigma})$, we have \equ{nd2} and \equ{nd1}, and consequently, $K_1+K_2=\O(k_1+k_2)$. Let us show $K=K_1K_2=\O(k_1k_2)$. Put $k=k_1k_2$. Then, for $c=c_1c_2$ and for $\tau=\tau_1+\tau_2$, \equ{nd2} holds. In order to show \equ{nd1}, we need the following lemma. \bparr % \lemb\lema{convolution} If $0\le\rho\le\min\{\sigma,\tau\}$ and $\sigma+\tau-\rho\ge d+1$ hold, we have \eqb\eqa{conv} \sum_{r\in\torus^*}(1+\dist{p-r})^{-\sigma}(1+\dist{r-q})^{-\tau} \le \const \,(1+\dist{p-q})^{-\rho}, \eqe where `$\const$' is independent of $p,q,$ and $a$. \leme\bparr % \prfb Decompose the summation in the left hand side of \equ{conv} as \eqb &&\sum_{r\in\torus^*}(1+\dist{p-r})^{-\sigma}(1+\dist{r-q})^{-\tau} \nonumber\\ &=&\left(\mathop{\sum_{r\in\torus^*}}_{\dist{p-r}\ge\dist{r-q}} +\mathop{\sum_{r\in\torus^*}}_{\dist{p-r}<\dist{r-q}}\right) (1+\dist{p-r})^{-\sigma}(1+\dist{r-q})^{-\tau}. \eqa{convdecomp} \eqe Let us estimate the first sum.

The second sum in the right hand side of \equ{convdecomp} can be estimated in a similar way. \prfe\bparr % Using \equ{K1},\equ{K2},\equ{k2} and \equ{conv}, we have \eqb |(u_{\alpha p},K_1K_2u_{\beta q})| &\le& \sum_{\gamma=1}^{2^{d/2}}\sum_{r\in\torus^*} |(u_{\alpha p},K_1u_{\gamma r})| |(u_{\gamma r},K_2u_{\beta q})| \nonumber\\ &\le& \sum_{\gamma=1}^{2^{d/2}}\sum_{r\in\torus^*} \dfrac{c_{1\sigma}c_{2\tau}k_1(a,p)k_2(a,r)} {(1+\dist{p-r})^\sigma(1+\dist{r-q})^\tau} \nonumber\\ &\le& \sum_{\gamma=1}^{2^{d/2}}\sum_{r\in\torus^*} \dfrac{c_{1\sigma}c_{2\tau}c_2k_1(a,p)k_2(a,p)} {(1+\dist{p-r})^{\sigma-\tau_2}(1+\dist{r-q})^\tau} \nonumber\\ &\le& \const\dfrac{c_{1\sigma}c_{2\tau}c_2k_1(a,p)k_2(a,p)} {(1+\dist{p-q})^{\rho}} \eqe by choosing sufficiently large $\sigma$ and $\tau$ for each $\rho$. This implies \equ{nd1} for $K=K_1+K_2$, hence a proof of \lemu{sumproduct} is completed. %------------------------ \subsection{Preparation for a Proof of Lemma 4.4}\seca{preparation} %------------------------ In this section, we prepare \lemu{JJn}, \lemu{p-qcom}, and \lemu{RKinv} for the proof of \lemu{inverseoperation}. The idea of the proof of \lemu{inverseoperation} is to estimate the right hand side of the identity \eqb K^{-1}&=&\sum_{j=0}^{n-1}J^jK_0^{-1}+J^nK^{-1},\ n=1,2,\dots, \eqa{iterate1} \eqe where \eqb J &=&-K_0^{-1}K_1 . \eqe \lemu{sumproduct} implies that the first term in the right hand side of \equ{iterate1} is quasi diagonal. For the second term, as we shall see later, $J^nK^{-1}$ for a sufficiently large $n$ has a good power counting property in spite of the poor information \equ{boundonKinv} on $K^{-1}$. The key point is that the order of $J$ is strictly lower than 1: \bparr % \lemb\lema{JJn} It holds that \eqb J &=& \O((1+\dist{p})^{-\delta})\,. \eqa{J} \eqe Furthermore, for $n\ge\nu/\delta$, \eqb J^n &=& \O(1/k_0)\ \eqa{Jn} \eqe holds. \leme % \prfb The assumtion \equ{k1/k0} and \lemu{sumproduct} imply \equ{J}. Then we have \eqb J^n &=& \O((1+\dist{p})^{-n\delta})\ ,\ n=1,2,\dots. \eqe In view of \equ{k0}, we can bound the order of $J^n$ as follows: \eqb (1+\dist{p})^{-n\delta} &\le& \const \dfrac{(1+\dist{p})^{\nu-n\delta}}{k_0(p)}. \eqe Choosing $n\ge\nu/\delta$, we obtain \equ{Jn}. \prfe\bparr % The above lemma implies that multiplying by $J$ improves the power counting properties of operators. In order to determine the order of the second term in the right hand side of \equ{iterate1}, we have to bound \eqb \dist{p_\mu-q_\mu}^\rho|(u_{\alpha p},J^nK^{-1}u_{\beta q})| \eqe for $\rho\ge0, p,q\in\torus^*$, and for $\alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}$. To this end, we use commutators with $\frac1a T_{\mu0}$. Let us write \eqb \ad_\mu(R) &=& \left[\frac1a T_{\mu0}, R\right] \eqe for an operator $R$ on $\dV$. \bparr % \lemb\lema{p-qcom} For an operator $R$ on $\dV$, it holds that \eqb\eqa{p-q} |(u_{\alpha p},\ad_\mu(R)u_{\beta q})| &&\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \le \dist{p_\mu-q_\mu}|(u_{\alpha p},Ru_{\beta q})|, \\ \ge\frac{1}{\pi} \dist{p_\mu-q_\mu}|(u_{\alpha p},Ru_{\beta q})|, \end{array} \right. \\ \nonumber &&\quad\quad p,q\in\torus^*,\ \alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2},\ \mu=1,2,\dots,d. \eqe Furthermore, if $R=\O(r)$, then $\ad_\mu(R)=\O(r)$. \leme % \prfb The bounds \equ{p-q} follows from \eqb |(u_{\alpha p},\ad_\mu(R)u_{\beta q})| &=& \dfrac{1}{a}|(\exp(ip_\mu a)-\exp(iq_\mu a))| |(u_{\alpha p},Ru_{\beta q})| \nonumber\\ &=& \dfrac{2}{a}|\sin(\frac12(p_\mu-q_\mu)a)| |(u_{\alpha p},Ru_{\beta q})|. \eqe The estimate $\ad_\mu(R)=\O(r)$ follows from \equ{p-q} and \equ{nd1}. \prfe\bparr % \bparr % \lemb\lema{RKinv} \begin{enumerate} \item For $R=\O(r)$, we have \eqb\eqa{bound(p-q)^0} |(u_{\alpha p}, RK^{-1}u_{\beta q})| &\le& \const r(p)\ ,\ p,q\in\torus^*, \ \alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}, \eqe where `$\const$' is a constant independent of $a,p$, and $q$. \item Assume that $R=\O(r)$ is at most of the same order as $K$, i.e., \eqb\eqa{r0$.

Note that \equ{Jn} and the latter part of \lemu{p-qcom} imply $\ad_\mu^{m'}(J^n)=\O(1/k_0)$ for sufficiently large $n$. Then, using \equ{bound(p-q)^0}, we have \eqb\eqa{adJnKinv} |(u_{\alpha p}, \ad_\mu^{m'}(J^n)K^{-1}u_{\beta s})| &\le& \dfrac{\const}{k_0(p)}\ ,\ p,s\in\torus^*,\ \alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}. \eqe Furthermore, the assumptions on the orders of $K_0$ and $K_1$ imply $K=\O(k_0)$. This fact and \lemu{p-qcom} and \equ{sumRKinv} imply \eqb\eqa{adKKinv} \sum_{s\in\torus^*}\sum_{\beta=1}^{2^{d/2}} |(u_{\beta s}, \ad_\mu^{m}(K)K^{-1}u_{\gamma s'})| &\le& \const\ ,\ s'\in\torus^*,\ \gamma=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}. \eqe Then, \equ{p-qtoad}, \equ{ad(JnKinv)}, \equ{adJnKinv}, and \equ{adKKinv} imply \eqb \dist{p_\mu-q_\mu}^\rho|(u_{\alpha p}, J^nK^{-1} u_{\beta q})| &\le& \dfrac{\const}{k_0(p)}\ ,\nonumber\\ \rho>0,\ p,q&\in&\torus^*,\ \alpha,\beta=1,2,\dots,2^{d/2}. \eqe This together with \equ{Bound(p-q)^0} yields $J^nK^{-1}=\O(1/k_0)$, which concludes the analysis on the second term in the right hand side of \equ{iterate1}, hence the proof of \lemu{inverseoperation}. % \input anom.5 %=================================================== \section{Orders of Operators}\seca{order} %=================================================== Using the framework of quasi diagonal operators, we determine the orders of lattice operators. %--------------------------------- \subsection{Orders of Interaction parts} %--------------------------------- Interaction parts of the operators $T_\mu, D_\mu, W, L,$ and $C$ are by definition \eqb T_{\mu1} &=& T_\mu-T_{\mu0}, \\ D_{\mu1} &=& D_\mu-D_{\mu0}, \\ W_1 &=& W-W_0, \\ L_1 &=& L-L_0, \\ C_1 &=& C-C_0. \eqe Namely, \eqb T_{\mu1} &=& (U_\mu-I)T_{\mu0}, \eqa{Tmu1}\\ D_{\mu1} &=& \dfrac{1}{2a}(T_{\mu1}-T^*_{\mu1}), \eqa{Dmu1}\\ W_1 &=& \sum_{\mu=1}^{d} \left((U_\mu-I)(T_{\mu0}-I)+(T^*_{\mu0}-I)(U^*_\mu-I) +(U_\mu+U^*_\mu-2I)\right), \eqa{W1}\\ L_1 &=& -\dfrac{r}{2a}W_1, \eqa{L1}\\ C_1 &=& L_1-\sum_{\mu=1}^d \left(D_{\mu}(L^{-1}-L_0^{-1})D_{\mu} +D_{\mu1}L_0^{-1}D_{\mu} +D_{\mu0}L_0^{-1}D_{\mu1} \right) . \eqa{C1} \eqe \bparr % \lemb\lema{perturbativepart} We have the following order estimates. \begin{enumerate} \item The orders of the interaction parts: \eqb T_{\mu1} &=& \O(a), \\ D_{\mu1} &=& \O(1), \eqa{D1O}\\ W_1 &=& \O(a^2(1+\dist{p})), \eqa{W1O}\\ L_1 &=& \O(a(1+\dist{p})). \eqa{L1O} \eqe \item The orders of the full operators: \eqb T_{\mu} &=& \O(1), \\ D_{\mu} &=& \O(1+\dist{p}), \eqa{DmuO}\\ W &=& \O(a^2(1+\dist{p}^2)), \eqa{WO}\\ L &=& \O(1+a\dist{p}^2). \eqe \end{enumerate} \leme % \prfb (1)\ follows from \equ{Tmu1}--\equ{L1} and \lemu{sumproduct} together with \lemu{freeparts} and \eqb U_\mu-I, U^*_\mu-I &=& \O(a) ,\\ U_\mu+U^*_\mu-2I &=& \O(a^2). \eqe (2)\ follows from (1) and \lemu{freeparts}.\parr \prfe %--------------------------------- \subsection{Orders of $L^{-1}$ and $C^{-1}$} %--------------------------------- % \lemb\lema{L} The operator $L$ is positive definite and satisfies \eqb (u,Lu) &\ge& M\norm{u}^2, \eqa{uLu}\\ \norm{L^{-1}} &\le& M^{-1}. \eqa{normLinv} \eqe Furthermore, it holds that \eqb L^{-1} &=& \O(\dfrac{1}{1+a\dist{p}^2}), \eqa{LinvO}\\ L^{-1}-L_0^{-1} &=& \O(\dfrac{a(1+\dist{p})}{(1+a\dist{p}^2)^2}). \eqa{Linv-L0inv} \eqe \leme % \prfb The semi-positivity of $-W$ (see \equ{uWu}) yields \equ{uLu}, from which \equ{normLinv} follows.

We classify operators on $\dV$ with respect to the homogeneous degrees in $\gamma$ matrices. For example, $C$ and $B$ have 0 and 2 homogeneous degrees, respectively. An operator with homogeneous degree 0 is regarded as an operator on $\tV=\{\varphi\ :\ \torus\to\complex\}$. Since $\dV=\complex^{d/2}\otimes\tV$, the trace is factorized as: \eqb \Tr_{\dV} &=& \Tr_{\tV} \Tr_{\complex^{d/2}}. \eqe \bparr % \prpb\prpa{zj0zd/2} It holds that \eqb z^{(j)} &=& 0\ ,\ j=0,1,\dots,d/2-1, \eqa{zjto0} \\ z^{(d/2)} &=& -i^{d/2+1}\sum_{\mu_1,\mu_2,\dots,\mu_d=1}^{d} \epsilon_{\mu_1\mu_2\dots\mu_{d}} \Tr_{\tV}[\dfrac{r}{2a}(\xi W+W\xi) \nonumber \\ &&\hspace{30mm} C^{-1}X_{\mu_1\mu_2}C^{-1}X_{\mu_3\mu_4}C^{-1}\cdots X_{\mu_{d-1}\mu_d}C^{-1}], \eqa{zd/2} \eqe where $\epsilon_{\mu_1\mu_2\dots\mu_{d}}$ denotes the totally antisymmetric tensor, and all the operators, having homogeneous degree 0, are regarded as defined on the space $\tV$. \prpe % \prfb The operator $(\xi W+W\xi)C^{-1}(-BC^{-1})^{j}$ has homogeneous degree $2j$ in $\gamma$'s. Then, \equ{zjto0} is obvious from \eqb \Tr_{\complex^{2^{d/2}}} \left(\gamma_{\mu_1}\gamma_{\mu_2}\cdots\gamma_{\mu_\ell}\gamma_{d+1} \right) &=& 0, \ 0\le\ell0$, and \eqb g(0,q) &=& \lim_{a\downarrow 0} g(a,q)\,. \eqe Using the funcion $g$, we write \eqb \kappa_a &=& \left(\dfrac{a}{L}\right)^d\sum_{q\in a\torus^*}g(a,q). \eqe For $q\in{\T^d}^*=[-\pi,\pi]^d$, let $[q]$ denote the point in $a\torus^*$ nearest to $q$. $[q]$ is defined almost everywhere in ${\T^d}^*$. Then, it holds that \eqb \kappa_a &=& \dfrac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{{\T^d}^*}dq\, g(a,[q]). \eqe Note that, for an arbitrarily small $\epsilon>0$, we can choose $\delta>0$ such that \eqb \dfrac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{B_\delta}dq\, |g(a,[q])| &<& \epsilon, \eqe hold for any $a\ge 0$, where $B_\delta=\{q\in\real^d\ |\ |q|<\delta\}$. Removing the small ball $B_\delta$ from the hypercube ${\T^d}^*$, we can take the continuum limit: \eqb \lim_{a\to0}\dfrac{1}{(2\pi)^d} \int_{{\T^d}^*\setminus B_\delta}dq\, g(a,[q]) &=& \dfrac{1}{(2\pi)^d} \int_{{\T^d}^*\setminus B_\delta}dq\, g(0,q). \eqe Then, it holds that \eqb \lim_{a\to0}\kappa_a &=& \dfrac{1}{(2\pi)^d}\int_{{\T^d}^*}dq\, g(0,q). \eqe It therefore suffices to show \eqb\eqa{Omega} \int_{{\T^d}^*}dq\, g(0,q) &=& \dfrac{2}{d}\Omega_d, \eqe where $\Omega_d$ stands for the area of the $d$-dimensional unit sphere, i.e. $\Omega_d=(2\pi)^{d/2}/(d-2)!!$. This fact is proved for $d=4$ in \cite{KS} and for all $d$ and all $r$ in \cite{SS}.\footnote{% To be strict, our conclusion is consistent with that of \cite{SS}, if we include $\prod_{\mu} \epsilon_{\mu}$ and replace $s^d-1$ by $s^{d-1}$ in the integrand of (A20) in \cite{SS}.} \prfe % \input anom.app %=================================================== \bparr\appendix %=================================================== We list up the operators that are (globally) used in this paper. $$ T_{\mu0}u(x)=u(x+ae_\mu) \eqno\equ{freetranslation} $$ $$ T_{\mu}=U_{\mu}T_{\mu0} \eqno\equ{covtranslation} $$ $$ D_\mu=\dfrac{1}{2a}(T_\mu-T_\mu^*) \eqno\equ{Dmu} $$ $$ \Slash D = \sum_{\mu=1}^{d}\gamma_\mu D_\mu \eqno\equ{Diracoperator} $$ $$ W=-\sum_{\mu=1}^{d}(2I-T_\mu-T_\mu^*) \eqno\equ{Wilson} $$ $$ L = MI - \dfrac{r}{2a}W \eqno\equ{L} $$ $$ X_{\mu\nu} = D_\mu L^{-1}D_\nu-D_\nu L^{-1}D_\mu \eqno\equ{X} $$ $$ B = \dfrac12 \sum_{\mu,\nu=1}^{d}\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{\nu}X_{\mu\nu} \eqno\equ{B} $$ $$ C = L - \sum_{\mu=1}^{d} D_\mu L^{-1}D_\mu \eqno\equ{C} $$ $$ E_{\mu0} = \dfrac12(T_{\mu0}+T^*_{\mu0}) \eqno\equ{Emu0} $$ % \input anom.ref %---------------------------- \begin{thebibliography}{99} %---------------------------- \bibitem{A}S.~Adler, {\it Axial-vector vertex in spinor electrodynamics,} Phys.\ Rev.{\bf 117} (1969) 2426-2438 \bibitem{ABP}M.~Atiyah, R.~Bott and V.~Patodi, {\it On the heat equation and the index theorem,} Invent.
