Hockomock Track Teams Race to Support Good Cause

This winter, Hockomock League teams are not only competing on the track at the Reggie Lewis Center, but are also in a friendly competition off it. Teams are racing to collect new and gently used clothing that will be donated to the non-profit organization Cradles to Crayons to help families in need throughout the Boston and Metrowest areas.
The brainchild of Sharon athletes and MIAA student ambassadors Berta Faktorovich and Jacob Durbin, this is not an ordinary call for donations. The teams have been organized into a competition to see which program can collect the most. Certain items of clothing are worth more points than others, for example sweatshirts, coats, ski pants, and jackets are worth three points and t-shirts, socks, gloves, and hats are worth one.
Clothes are being collected at each of the league's track meets, as all the teams gather together at the Reggie Lewis Center. Through the first two meets, North Attleboro was in the lead with 197 points and Sharon was close behind in second at 179.

The idea of using fun competition as a means for drawing interest in helping a local charity stemmed from an MIAA student ambassador huddle. "In small groups, we were talking about how having an incentive can encourage more people to bring in donations," Faktorovich explained. "I then realized how great it would be to have a competition among the winter tracks teams for a clothing drive."
After sharing the idea with Durbin, the duo set out to get support and buy-in from the league's team captains and athletic directors. Thanks to social media efforts promoting the "standings" and continuing to spread the word throughout the league, nearly 500 articles of clothing have been collected through two meets.
"Especially around the holiday times when people are receiving new clothes and simply leaving their old clothes to get dusty in their closets, this is a great opportunity to collect clothes for those who need it," said Durbin. "Adding other teams has only made this bigger and better for the recipients of these great donations."
Berta Faktorovich.
While the first meet yielded only 76 pieces of clothing, the number jumped considerably at the second meet and Durbin and Faktorovich are hoping for even more support over the final two meets of the league season. The winning team will be announced at the league championship meet in February with a prize of MSTCA swag for collecting the most.
"The other teams turned out to be a huge help," Faktorovich said. "We received so many items from all of the teams, especially North Attleboro. They even posted on their own Instagram stories about the drive, which helped spread the word."
Durbin added, "The competition aspect of the clothing drive surely has caused more people to donate. They are incentivized to earn the reward at the end, but also represent their schools."
The current standings after three meets are:
Mansfield – 437
North Attleboro – 396
Sharon – 343
Franklin – 204
Canton – 182
Attleboro – 160
Foxboro – 140
King Philip – 123
Taunton/Oliver Ames/Milford/Stoughton – 0
According to a notice from Sharon High regarding the collection drive, "There are simply two requirements for donated clothes: they can be NEW and/or GENTLY USED, and they have to have a sizing tag intact. Trash bags, clearly marked with your school's name, can be turned in at every dual meet."
Cradles to Crayons has offices in Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia. The organization seeks to assist more than 260,000 Massachusetts children that are battling poverty. "Clothing insecurity" is the term the organization uses to describe children who are without adequate or appropriate clothing, an issue that is even more pronounced during New England winters.

The next winter track meet will be held at the Reggie Lewis Center on Friday, Jan. 24.

Milford Survives Sharon Surge With Overtime Win

SHARON, Mass. – A typical high school basketball game will feature plenty of momentum swings and runs over the course of 32 minutes.
The Sharon and Milford boys basketball teams managed to fit all of the drama into the fourth quarter and overtime on Sunday afternoon. Although the Eagles managed to erase a large second half deficit, and another Milford lead in the final seconds, the Hawks prevailed with a 79-78 overtime victory on the road.
"That was just a classic, wild high school basketball game, that's the only way to sum it up," said Milford head coach Paul Seaver.

The Hawks' lead ballooned to as much as 18 halfway through the third quarter, and the advantage sat at 55-42 with the visitors just eight minutes away from a win.
The Eagles had other plans, however, dominating the fourth quarter to the tune of an 11-0 run over the first four minutes, putting the Hawks' lead in serious jeopardy. Despite a timeout to try and stop the bleeding, Sharon continued on, pushing the run to 17-0 to seize a four-point lead with two minutes to play.
But as shocking as the run from the Eagles was, so was the response from the Hawks, which was a 9-0 burst in a one minute span, turning a four-point deficit into a five-point lead. Again, Sharon refused to fold by rattling off a 7-2 burst over the final 20 seconds, capped by sophomore John Baez's ridiculous three-pointer that beat the buzzer to force overtime.

"That was mostly just effort," said Sharon head coach Andrew Ferguson of the comeback. "We got down 18 points in the third quarter so we called a timeout, switched up our defenses a little bit. The kids worked unbelievably hard on the defensive end, we found some shots on the offensive end with it. But it comes back to their effort and hard work."
Sharon senior Andrew Burton (24 points, five rebounds, six assists) gave the hosts the lead in the overtime period before Milford senior Colby Pires (19 points, nine rebounds) answered with his fifth three-pointer of the game to put the visitors in front.
Baez knotted the score with a free throw before Ralph Franklin Jr. sank one of his own to put the Hawks back in front. Junior Matt Baskin (career-high 27 points, eight rebounds) sank a pair from the line on one end but a foul on the box out allowed Jordan Darling (22 points, 14 rebounds) to reciprocate on the other end for a 72-71 lead.
Baskin drove through the lane for two more for a lead with 1:20 to play but it was Darling again who had the answer, finishing over good defense down low. Tyler Wetherbee and Darling combined for three free twos as the Hawks' defense picked up key back-to-back stops on defense.
Caleb Gayle brought the Eagles within two but Ben Blanchard (20 points) converted two huge free throws in the final seconds. Senior Aidan Kane sank a three at the buzzer to bring the final score to a one-point game.
"Give [Sharon] all the credit," Seaver said. "We played well enough to build a double-digit lead, I think we got it up to 18 at one point. And they are the ones who hit shots in the fourth quarter and more importantly got stops. It took us forever to finally get a basket to fall. At the end of the day, a win is a win in this league. Everybody you play on any given night is good and you have to be ready to go. But a win is a win."
Blanchard was a big reason that Milford got off to a strong start, hitting three trifectas in the opening eight minutes, slashing to the basket for another two for 11 of Milford's 20 first quarter points.
The Hawks used an 11-3 burst in the second quarter to create the separation it carried into the fourth quarter. A three-pointer from Kane brought the Eagles within one possession at 22-19 but Darling hit four straight free throws, Pires knocked down a three, Blanchard scored again, and Ralph Franklin Jr. finished at the rim for a 33-22 advantage.
While Milford's offense continued its normal pace in the third quarter, Sharon got a huge boost from Baskin. The junior wing scored 12 of his points in that quarter, keeping the Eagles within shouting distance entering the fourth quarter. He hit twice from three-point range and had three buckets driving to the hoop.
"We think he can be a very good player in this league and he's gaining confidence in each practice, in each game," Ferguson said about Baskin, who transferred into the program this season. "We're in his ear about it. He creates a lot of mismatches with his height, length, and offensive ability. If they put a big on him, he can take them off the dribble or if they put a smaller guy on him, we can put him in the post and he made some nice post moves today. He really asserted himself for the first time this year."
Burton sparked the fourth quarter with four straight points and Baez added a free throw. The Eagles took advantage of a foul and a technical foul, making two of the four three throws and Cam Baker (10 points) scored on the ensuing possession to make it 55-51.
"Their zone really slowed us down," Seaver said. "We tried to get it to the high post, we tried to dump it down and we actually had a lot of good looks from the outside but we just went ice cold for a long stretch. That translated to a poor defensive end during their comeback but credit Sharon. Credit their zone, they did a good job changing the pace on us. In the end, we made one more play, hit one more free throw, and that's what we needed."
Kiran Chandrasekaran took a feed from Burton and finished to make it 55-53 and Burton tied the game after a fast break. Burton gave the Eagles the lead with a free throw and Baskin pushed it to 59-55 with a three-pointer with two minutes left.
Pires played the role of hero for the Hawks. After Darling hit a free throw, Pires sank two technical foul free throws and then drained a corner three on the ensuing possession. After the Hawks drew a charge, Pires sank another triple and Milford suddenly had a 64-59 lead.
"Colby is a three-year varsity player, a two-time captain, a two-year starter and he's kind of the heart and soul of this program," Seaver said. "He made senior plays and he made winning plays. That's who he is, that's what he does and most importantly he showed it on the court today for us."
Baskin hit two free throws with 20.3 seconds left only for Blanchard to answer with two of his own with 11.5 seconds left. Burton drove to the hoop for two and the Eagles were able to create a turnover on Milford's inbounds pass. Baez beat the buzzer with a three to force overtime.
"It's a matter of mentality," Ferguson said of what can turn games like this into a win. "Yeah, maybe this group hasn't won a lot of basketball games but they want to win basketball games. We saw that there. I have to coach it better, we have to get a little better with our execution, and we have to maintain our emotions. I think that hurt us today. Hopefully, these experiences are building the confidence that will help us in the long run."
Milford boys basketball (3-1 Hockomock, 3-1 overall) moves into sole possession of first place in the Davenport with the win and will be back in action on Wednesday against Mansfield. Sharon (0-4, 0-5) will host Taunton on Tuesday in search of its first win.

North Edges Sharon in Back-And-Forth Matchup

SHARON, Mass. – For the better part of three quarters, Sharon was able to keep North Attleboro off the glass, chased the Rocketeers off the three-point line, and kept North from getting out in transition. But down the stretch, the visitors turned up the pressure and made just enough plays to pull out the win.
North Attleboro came up with enough defensive stops, including an important steal and layup by Amanda Kaiser, and knocked down five free throws in the closing two minutes to earn a 49-40 road victory in an early season meeting of two contenders for second place in the Davenport.
"We needed that," said North coach Nikki Correia. "They're a tough team and she coaches them well. They started to get a little tired, we gutted it out, and we were able to finish strong."
Sharon was a little shorthanded coming into the game, as several players were out sick, but the Eagles continued to battle and stay close in the fourth quarter, even after an injury forced Kaitlyn Wallace (nine points) to the bench.
"We had a couple big turnovers that led to points for them and that was the difference in the game," said Sharon coach Sandy Lombardi. "We battled. We're short on the bench, we're short players, and the kids go out there and play as hard as they can and that's all you can ask for. We're going to keep on working."
North led by three points going into the fourth quarter and started to hit the glass to get crucial extra chances on the offensive end. Regan Fein grabbed an offensive board and kicked it out to Kaiser (13 points and seven rebounds) for a big three-pointer. Sharon answered back on the other end with a three by Ally Brown to make it 37-34.
Fein hit a jumper on a Kaiser drive-and-dish to extend the lead to five. After a Sharon free throw, Siobhan Weir twice saved a possession by snatching an offensive rebound and Summer Doherty swung the ball around the perimeter for a clutch three by Olivia Forbes (eight points).
"There was one possession that they had five or six shots and then they hit a big shot and it was just like, where are we," Lombardi joked. "It's a battle every single night."
Trailing 43-35 and with Wallace on the bench, Sharon could have folded and looked ahead to Sunday's game with Milford, but instead the Eagles battled back again. Leah Fandel (10 points and nine rebounds) sliced through the North defense for a finish at the rim and, after North missed the front-end of a one-and-one for the second time, Nicole Teven got the ball to Brown (12 points) for her fourth three of the night.
Last time out against King Philip, North struggled at the line, Fein stepped up and buried two and then Kaiser came up with a steal in the backcourt and finish to stretch the advantage to seven points. Eliza Dion knocked down two more at the line to close things out for the Rocketeers.
Sharon got off to a strong start to the game. Trinity Payne (nine points and eight rebounds) scored on an offensive rebound and Brown buried her first three-pointer. After North got back within two, Payne had a steal and basket and Brown hit another from deep for a 12-5 lead after one.
"She did a great job [against the press]," Lombardi said of Brown, who played the full 32 minutes. "She had a couple big threes for us that made it close and we ended up just having a couple turnovers late that were costly."
The Rocketeers turned things around in the second to tie the game going into halftime. Fein was the key to North getting points against Sharon's half-court zone. She scored six of her game-high 16 in the second, showing off her mid-range jumper.
Correia said of Fein, "She's a finesse player and for the last few years we were trying to get her to go inside, but it's not her game. We said, you're a senior now, this is what your game is, those little 10 footers, the jumper from the corner, the free throw line, and she's starting to get comfortable in her game and how she can play."
Kaiser gave North its first lead of the night when she corralled a long rebound and instantly went up for a corner three. Doherty nearly had a steal to keep possession but stepped on the sideline. With four seconds left in the half, Brown raced up court and dished for Fandel to score at the buzzer and make it 19-19.
Things continued to be back-and-forth after the break. North scored five straight, including a three by Kaiser, but Sharon answered right back thanks to Wallace, who finally got going. She drilled a corner three and tied it with a baseline drive. After Fein knocked one down from beyond the arc, Wallace again matched it with a drive plus the foul and then assisted on a Payne bucket that put Sharon up 29-27.
Freshman Ava McKeon had a steal and assist on a Fein jumper and Kaiser extended North's lead to 32-29 with a steal and layup. After a pair of Fandel free throws, McKeon came back with a drive to the rim that put the Rocketeers ahead 34-31 heading into the final eight minutes.
"They had a good game plan to slow us down," Correia admitted. "We came out very flat and very soft and we struggled with the zone.
"We were able to get Amanda open. We scratched the offense we were running and run something higher up. I think sometimes our girls think you can't screen against a zone, but you can and once we started to pin the girl she got comfortable and knocked down a few."
North Attleboro (2-3, 2-2) will be back on the court against neighboring rival Bishop Feehan on Sunday. Sharon (0-4, 0-3) will look for its first win of the season against Milford on Sunday evening.

Hottleman Drives Mansfield to Dramatic Win at Sharon
Senior Becca Hottleman (15) scored with 4.5 seconds remaining to lift Mansfield to a 52-50 victory at Sharon. It was the first win of the season for the Hornets. (Josh Perry/HockomockSports.com)
With the game tied at 50 and the clock running down under 20 seconds left to play, Sharon had a look from in close that wouldn't fall. The rebound was batted around and was heading out of play. Sharon guard Kaitlyn Wallace was sure that the Eagles were going to retain possession and let the ball go out of bounds. The officials had other ideas and gave Mansfield the ball and a shot at the win.
The Hornets got the ball into the hands of senior point guard Becca Hottleman, who took off up court. Mansfield coach Mike Redding thought about calling a timeout to set up a play, but Hottleman didn't need one. She stepped to her right, found a seam in the Sharon defense, and made a difficult layup under pressure to put her team in front with 4.5 on the clock.
Hottleman missed her free throw, but Sharon was unable to advance the ball before time ran out on a 52-50 Mansfield victory. It was the first win of the season for the Hornets and the first-ever game-winner for Hottleman, who is still working her way back from a knee injury that has kept her out since March.
"She's our best off the dribble and she had some space and I thought maybe if she kicked it out and nothing was there then maybe take the timeout," Redding explained. "I just asked her when's the last time she hit a game-winner and she said she'd never hit one before. Good thing to save it for her senior year."
Sharon is still looking for its first win of the season, but head coach Sandy Lombardi is pleased with the progress her team showed from the first game and the fight that it demonstrated in battling back from an early deficit.
"You read the articles, oh they're having trouble shooting from the outside and then they come out and stick I don't know how many threes in the first half and it was like, I thought you couldn't shoot?" Lombardi joked. "The second quarter we bounced back, we got down by 10 or 12 and came back. It was a tough loss but I thought it was a great game overall."
It has been a rough start to the season for the Mansfield offense, but the Hornets were firing on all cylinders in the opening quarter, knocking down four three-pointers and scoring 21 as a team. Kayla Vine scored seven of her team-high 14 in the first, including a pair from beyond the arc. Hottleman and classmate Kelly Doherty both hit one each from outside as well.
Trailing 21-11 after one, the Eagles turned things around in the second. Sharon pressured the perimeter to limit Mansfield's chances and started to find openings in the Hornets' zone defense.
Wallace (game-high 16 points, nine rebounds, and five assists) got things started with a three on a kick-out by Leah Fandel (11 points) and then she assisted on a corner three by Telishya Herbert (10 points and six rebounds). Fandel was left open on an inbounds play for a layup and then Ally Brown (eight points) buried a three to cut the Mansfield lead to just one, 29-28.
"Kaitlyn had a big game," said Lombardi. "Ally had a good game for us and those kids don't come out of the game. They play the whole game for us and that's pretty much the way it's going to be the rest of the season."
The Eagles got their first lead of the night on a pair of Wallace free throws, but Ashley Santos (12 points, five rebounds, and three blocks) answered back with two at the line. Freshman AAbby Wager had a big block on a Sharon layup attempt in the closing seconds of the half, but the loose ball fell right to Brown, who knocked down a baseline jumper right at the buzzer for a 32-31 halftime edge.
"The second quarter they heated up," Redding said. "It kind of forced us out of the zone and then we went to a 1-3-1 trap and eventually ended up playing man. The good thing was we made shots tonight and got some confidence on offense but now we got to defend a little better, but I think they did a good job moving the ball and making shots."
Sharon came out of the break looking to grab hold of the game, but struggled to find its offense. Brown nailed another three off an assist by Trinity Payne, but baskets by Sarah Dooling (eight points) and Santos tied the game.
Wallace drilled her third three of the night to make it 38-35, but the Hornets would go on a spurt, scoring the final eight points of the quarter to grab the lead. Vine had a steal and layup and then Grace Maher grabbed an offensive rebound for her only basket of the night. Vine closed out the third with a driving hoop for a 43-38 lead.
"We started moving the ball around a little bit, we were getting wide open outside shots, we were getting the ball inside, the high-low was working well, and it kind of fell apart in the third," Lombardi said.
At the start of the fourth, it was Sharon's turn to make a run and the hosts scored seven straight to start the quarter and get the lead. Fandel hit a short jumper on a pass from Nicole Teven, who also grabbed a steal and layup to make it a one-point game. Another Fandel basket on another inbound play put the Eagles in front.
"She was on the varsity last year," Lombardi said of Fandel, "but she's still feeling her oats a little bit and I thought she had a strong game inside."
Santos answered with a post move to tie the game at 45-45 and Doherty (nine points) chipped in with a basket on a rebound. Wallace would get her last points of the night to tie it again, but then Vine got open and knocked down her first three since the first quarter to put the Hornets ahead 50-47.
Fandel continued to be a menace for the home team. A putback brought the Eagles back within one and then she tied the game with one of two from the line. The junior scored seven of her team's 12 points in the quarter.
"We needed a win," Redding admitted. "Two tough ones to start and this gives us a little boost going into the holidays. We're going to have a lot of these in the league with teams like us that are good but young and getting better. These are the ones that you've got to get and to get one on the road is even better."
Both teams will step out of the Hock for their next games. Mansfield (1-2) will host Newtown (Conn.) next Friday in the start of a holiday tournament that also includes Fontbonne and Bridgewater-Raynham. Sharon (0-2) will host Holliston the following Sunday.

Location California -- San Francisco.


In 2018 we didn't only advance and push on our camera technology for future releases. As a result of our longstanding expert knowledge in sCMOS camera development we have also brought four new systems onto the market, ranging from back illuminated to intensified technology and all based on 16 bit sCMOS sensors.
We presented our new back illuminated sCMOS camera system pco.panda 4.2 bi at this year's SPIE Photonics West in San Francisco, California, USA. With 95 % quantum efficiency and designed with the recent advances in sCMOS sensor technology, the pco.panda 4.2 bi camera can make the difference to see and measure. At 2048 x 2048 pixel with impressively low noise contributions with passive cooling and ultra-compact design, the pco.panda 4.2 bi allows you to detect the light through the dark.
For more info on the camera, please visit the pco.panda 4.2 bi product page.
In August the pco.dicam C1 followed. It is the first camera system with image intensifier technology that harnesses the full power of the sCMOS sensor. Unique is the optical connection of the high-resolution 25 mm image intensifier to the 16 bit sCMOS sensor via an efficient tandem lens. Individual photons are detected using the shortest exposure times.
For more info on the camera, please visit the pco.dicam C1 product page.
Shortly after, in October, the pco.dicam C4 was introduced and goes one step further combining four pco.dicam C1 in one housing. Four image intensifiers, four tandem lenses, four image sensors, everything is 4-fold. The pco.dicam C4 equally distributes the incident light from a single optical input to multiple modules. Each is capable of detecting very few photons with nanosecond time resolution.
For more info on the camera, please visit the pco.dicam C4 product page.
When our tried and trusted pco.edge series pools forces with modern back illuminated (bi) sensor technology, the result is our pco.edge 4.2 bi! The flexible cooling system allows the use of air or water to cool the sensor down to -25 ° C. At this temperature, the dark current is reduced to 0.2 e-/pixel/s. High resolution and 6.5 x 6.5 μm² pixel size guarantees high-quality images with quantum efficiency up to 95 %.
For more info on the camera, please visit the pco.edge 4.2 bi product page.

It's difficult to tell whether you're male or female. One thing is for certain, however, you're one or the other. A foolish one in the least I might add. Just from reading your post you come across as one who dresses up in very tight clothing, switches when you walk and suffers from limp wrist syndrome. I'll bet my testicles that you even think you're a woman trapped in a man's body and that you have a menstrual cycle each month. And, you probably want to adopt some innocent child and screw up his life.
Where would you be without the breeders? It is the differences in the male and the female that makes it possible for things like you, as well as intelligent homosexuals and others, to have an existence. You may have been conceived in a Petrie (Petri) Dish and implanted some where but the egg came from a woman and the sperm came from a man. What a waste of both.

A child has died and the Jeffersonian is NOT okay with it. Join Emily, Marshall, James, and, unfortunately, Charlie the dog as they delve into Bones episode 105: "A Boy in a Bush." Laugh along as we discuss Booth's misunderstanding of the "zoom" feature on cameras, and cry about yet another crime procedural's foray into infanticide. Things come to a head mostly because James had a long week at work, and the Bones Zone squad proves they are unafraid of deteriorating into non sequitur. We've got wealthy scientists, baby snatching, and good ol' fashioned child murder, right here, on the Bones Zone (we're sorry about this one).
Jump on in with the Bones Zone crew as we hit the road for our first off-campus episode! Bones and Booth find themselves in the horniest town in the state of Washington. While mountain men lust after Brennan, Hodgins and Zack Addy find themselves locked in their own affaire de coeur with the UPS girl. Oh, and somewhere along the way a murder gets solved. We got bears, bones, brews, and a whole lot more right here, right now, on the Bones Zone.
The Bones Zone squad gets #deep talking about Bones episode 102: The Man in the SUV, and reveals their lack of understanding of major world religions. Emily finally gets into SUR. Tensions run hot between Marshall and James as repressed memories of a pizza/dog incident surface. Does the show Bones have the gravitas to handle themes of international terrorism? We leave this as an exercise to the listener.
Emily, James, and Marshall crack a few brews and get deep into the show Bones. Hilarity ensues as the three friends search for deeper meaning in this unapologetically campy, grotesque Fox procedural. Did Booth purposefully miss his first shot? Why is Hodgins so snarky? Was this pod a good idea? All of this and more can be found in the Bones Zone.

The Department of Transportation is issuing a final rule to extend the smoking ban in 14 CFR Part 252 to include all charter (i.e., nonscheduled) flights where a flight attendant is a required crewmember. The revised Part 252 would comport with 49 U.S.C. § 41706, which was revised in 2012, to ban smoking on charter flights where a flight attendant is a required crewmember. This final rule also explicitly bans the use of electronic cigarettes ("e-cigarettes") on all flights where smoking is...
Disclosure of charges for checked baggage
This notice is intended to give guidance to air carriers and foreign air carriers on disclosure of carrier baggage policies and associated fees in connection with checked baggage. The general industry practice until recently has been to allow passengers two free checked bags, generally of up to 50 or 70 pounds each. Several air carriers have recently adopted policies of charging passengers an amount, in addition to the fare already paid, for any checked baggage or for more than one checked...
Baggage liability on international codeshare trips
This notice is intended to give guidance to U.S. and foreign air carriers on two tariff matters: first, tariffs relating to liability for lost, stolen, delayed or damaged baggage carried on international itineraries; and second, tariffs that appear to assign responsibility, in code-share service, to the operating carrier rather than the selling carrier (i.e., the carrier shown on the ticket).

\section{Introduction}

Lattice formulation provides a framework for quantum field theory
where one can, in principle, address questions which are
non-perturbative. Interacting gauge fields are easily
incorporated through the link variables and the lattice spacing `$a$'
provides built-in gauge-invariant regularisation. In practical
applications, however, a serious impediment is the problem of
fermion doubling$^{1}$. The `naive' lattice action
leads$^{1}$ to fifteen `doublers' all with the same mass as the
physical fermion and survive in the spectrum in the continuum
limit.

A `no-go' theorem$^{2}$ states that the unwanted doublers can be
evaded, but only at the price of some basic, desirable
properties$^{3}$ of lattice fermion action. A variety of models
have appeared in literature which get rid of the doublers, either
partially or completely, by abandoning one or more of these basic
properties. The most popular among these, the Wilson model,
abandons chiral symmetry$^{1,4}$. The Wilson term in the lattice
action of this model vanishes formally in the continuum limit, i.e.
is an irrelevant term, and breaks chiral symmetry explicitly. It
does the job of removing all the doublers by giving each of them a
mass of $0\left({1/a}\right)$, i.e., of the order of the cut-off. For a
vector-like gauge theory, e.g., QCD, the Wilson model is
adequate. In weak coupling perturbation theory ({\it wcpt}) it reproduces
in the continuum limit the correct Ward identities, and, most
importantly, the ABJ anomaly in the U(1) axial current$^{1,5}$. The
explicit breaking of chiral symmetry, however, renders the Wilson
model unsuitable for chiral gauge theories like the Standard
Model. The difficulty with chiral gauge theory is not specific for
the Wilson model, but an outstanding problem of lattice formulation
and quantum field theory in general.

It is clear that in order to be compatible with chiral gauge
theories the lattice action for fermion should have exact chiral
symmetry. Even the irrelevant terms, like the Wilson term, needed
to remove the doublers from the spectrum, must leave chiral
symmetry unscathed. In view of the no-go theorem, it is also
clear that the chirally symmetric irrelevant term must pay some
price. What, however, is not clear is whether the model will still
be physically acceptable. A decisive criterion for this would be
the Ward identities in {\it wcpt}. We report here the results of a search
for a chirally symmetric lattice fermion action which satisfies
this criterion.

In sect.2 we introduce various options for finite differences on
lattice, all of which are candidates for derivative in continuum.
The specific choice of finite difference for our lattice action
(sect.3) is motivated by the three principles, (i) absence of
doublers, (ii) strict chiral symmetry, and (iii) hermiticity.
The price paid$^{3}$ is the loss of
hypercubic and reflection symmetries$^{6,7}$. We, however, give
a prescription to remedy the lack of these symmetries in
correlation functions. In sect.4 we derive the Ward identities
of the U(1) curents in {\it wcpt} and show that the vector current is
conserved while the axial current has the ABJ anomaly in the
continuum limit. Important steps in the derivation of these
identities are given in the Appendix. We conclude with some remarks
in sect.5.

\section{Finite Differences and Fermion Doublers}

There are several options for finite differences on lattice, all of
which coincide with derivative in the continuum limit :
\\ \\
(a) forward difference
$$\delta^{f}_{\mu} \equiv \frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} - 1}{a} \equiv -
iP_{\mu} \eqno(2.1)$$
(b) backward difference
$$\delta^{b}_{\mu} \equiv \frac{1 - e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{a}  \equiv -
iP_{\mu}^{+} \eqno(2.2)$$
(c) symmetric difference
$$\delta^{s}_{\mu} = \frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} - e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{2a}
\equiv -i \frac{P_{\mu} + P_{\mu}^{+}}{2} \eqno(2.3)$$
where $p_{\mu}$'s are generators of translation. The forward and the
backward differences may be expressed in terms of the symmetric
difference
$$\delta^{f}_{\mu} = \delta^{s}_{\mu} + \Delta^{a}_{\mu}, \hspace{1in}
\delta^{s}_{\mu} = \delta^{s}_{\mu} - \Delta^{a}_{\mu} \eqno(2.4)$$
where the antisymmetric combination $\Delta_{\mu}^{a}$.
$$\Delta^{a}_{\mu} \equiv \frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} + e^{ip_{\mu}a} -
2}{2a} \eqno(2.5)$$
vanishes in the continuum limit.

The `naive' lattice action is the result of sustituting the
symmetric difference $\delta^{s}_{\mu}$ for the derivative
$\partial_{\mu}$ in the continuum euclidean action
$$\begin{array}{lll}
S^{naive} &= &- \displaystyle\sum_{\mu} <
\bar{\psi}\vert\gamma_{\mu}\left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} -
e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{2a}\right) \vert \psi > \\
&= &- \displaystyle\sum_{x,\mu} \frac{1}{2a} \left[\bar{\psi}(x + \mu)
\gamma_{\mu}\psi(x) - \bar{\psi}(x)\gamma_{\mu}\psi(x + \mu)\right]
\end{array}\eqno(2.6)$$
where $\mu = ae_{\mu}$ with $e_{\mu}$ a unit vector in the
$\mu$-direction. Within the Brillouin zone $-{\pi/a}  \leq
k_{\mu} \leq {\pi/a}$ the inverse propagator
$$G^{naive}_{F} (k)^{-1} = i\gamma_{\mu} \frac{\sin(k_{\mu}a)}{a}
\eqno(2.7)$$
derived from the naive action vanishes at $k_{\mu} = 0$ and
$k_{\mu} = {\pi/a}$. The entire Brillouin zone, therefore,
splits up into 16 distinct sectors corresponding to the domains
$$0 \leq \vert k_{\mu} \vert \leq \frac{\pi}{2a}, \hspace{1in} \frac{\pi}{2a}
\leq \vert k_{\mu} \vert \leq \frac{\pi}{a} \eqno(2.8)$$
of each component of the four momenta, in each of which the fermion
propagator assumes the standard continuum form
$$G^{naive}_{F}(k)^{-1} = i\gamma_{\mu}^{A} k_{\mu}$$
with $\gamma^{A}_{\mu}(A = 1,2,.... 16)$ unitarily equivalent to
$\gamma_{\mu}$. The physical fermion resides in the first hypercube
$0 \leq \vert k_{\mu} \vert \leq {\pi/2a}$, all $\mu$, and
corresponds to $\gamma^{A}_{\mu} = \gamma_{\mu}$, while the 15
doublers live in the remaining sectors$^{1,4}$.

Appearance of the doublers is not peculiar to the naive action,
but, according to the no-go theorem$^{2}$, is generic. A simple
version of the theorem states$^{3}$ that the 15 doublers are
unavoidable if the lattice inverse propagator has (i) continuity,
(ii) hypercubic symmetry, (iii) reflection symmetry i.e.,
$\gamma_{4}G^{-1}_{F}(k)^{\dagger}\gamma_{4} = G^{-1}_{F}\left(k_{i} -
k_{4}\right)$, and (iv) chiral symmetry $\gamma_{5}
G^{-1}_{F}(k)\gamma_{5} = - G^{-1}_{F}(k)$. Models have been
proposed which eliminate the doublers, either completely or
partially, at the expense of one or more of the above properties.

In Wilson model chiral symmetry is abandoned to achieve complete
elimination of the doublers in the continuum spectrum
$$\begin{array}{lcl}
S^{W} &= &- \displaystyle\sum_{\mu} <
\bar{\psi}\vert\gamma_{\mu}\left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} -
e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{2a}\right) + r\left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} + e^{ip_{\mu}a} -
2}{2a}\right)\vert\psi > \\
&=
&-\displaystyle\sum_{x,\mu}\frac{1}{2a}\left[\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)(r+\gamma_{\mu})\psi(x)
- \bar{\psi}(x)(r -\gamma_{\mu})\psi(x+\mu)\right. \\
& &\left.- 2r\bar{\psi}(x)\psi(x)\right]
\end{array} \eqno(2.9)$$
The Wilson term makes a mass-like contribution of $0\left({r/a}\right)$
in the inverse propagator
$$G^{W}_{F}(k)^{-1} =
\displaystyle\sum_{\mu}\left[i\gamma_{\mu}\frac{\sin(k_{\mu}a)}{a} + \frac{r}{a} \left(1 -
\cos(k_{\mu}a)\right)\right] \eqno(2.10)$$
in the neighbourhood of $k_{\mu} \approx {\pi/a}$ where the
doublers live. This lifts the degeneracy between the physical
fermion and the doublers, and removes the latter from the spectrum
in the limit $a = 0^{1,4}$.

\section{Chirally Invariant Model for Lattice Fermion}

The species doublers in the naive lattice action (2.6) owe their
origin to the substitution of the symmetric difference for
continuum derivative. A recipe for cure, which follows
naturally$^{7}$, is to use instead forward (2.1) or backward (2.2)
difference. A serious fallout of this recipe is the loss of
hermiticity of the action. The integrand in the partition function
ceases to have the interpretation of a probability measure, and
Feynman rules would yield terms which do not have correct reality
properties in the continuum limit$^4$.

Intimately related to the hermiticity of action is the chiral
structure and anomaly of a gauge theory. Consider the
continuum Dirac operator of a non-abelian chiral gauge theory
$$i D\!\!\!\!/\,_{\pm} (A) \equiv - \left(\partial\!\!\!/\, - ig
\frac{1 \pm \gamma_{5}}{2} A\!\!\!\!/\,\right) \eqno(3.1)$$
with $A_{\mu} = A^{\dagger}_{\mu}$. The effective actions $\Gamma_{+}(A)$
and $\Gamma_{-}(A)$ defined by
$$\Gamma_{\pm}(A) = - \ln\det \left(i D\!\!\!\!/\,_{\pm}(A)\right) \eqno(3.2)$$
are related to each other through hermitian conjugation
$$\Gamma_{+}(A) = \Gamma_{-}(A)^{\dagger} \eqno(3.3)$$
The relation (3.3) is of essence for the chiral properties of the
theory$^{8}$ and implies that chiral anomaly is related to
imaginary part of the effective actions $\Gamma_{\pm}(A)$. Eq.(3.3)
is a direct consequence of the hermiticity of the Dirac operator
$D\!\!\!\!/\,(A)$.
$$\begin{array}{lll}
D\!\!\!\!/\,(A) &\equiv &\left(i \partial\!\!\!/\, + g A\!\!\!\!/\,\right) \\
&= &\left(\begin{array}{cc}
        0 & D(A) \\
        D^{\dagger}(A) &0 \end{array}\right)\end{array} \eqno(3.4)$$
The Weyl components $D(A), D^{\dagger}(A)$
$$D(A) \equiv \sigma_{\mu}\left(i\partial_{\mu} + gA_{\mu}\right) \eqno(3.5)$$
with $\sigma_{\mu} = (i, \sigma_{k})$, are hermitian conjugates of
each other and eq.(3.3) follows from
$$\Gamma_{+}(A) = - \ln \det \left[D(A) D^{\dagger}(0)\right]$$
$$\Gamma_{-}(A) = - \ln \det \left[D(0) D^{\dagger}(A)\right] \eqno(3.6).$$

The naive lattice action (2.6) with gauge field interactions through
link variables  $U_{\mu}$
$$S^{naive} = - \displaystyle\sum_{\mu} < \bar{\psi} \vert \gamma_{\mu}
\left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} U^{\dagger}_{\mu} -
U_{\mu}e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{2a}\right) \vert
\psi > \eqno(3.7)$$
obeys the hermiticity condition even for finite lattice spacing. The
fact that it fails to reproduce the ABJ anomaly is well
understood$^{1,4}$ in terms of cancellation of the contribution from
the physical fermion by those from the doublers.

The key elements for a chirally invariant formulation of lattice Dirac
fermion, therefore, are (i) absence of doublers (ii) chiral symmetry,
and (iii) hermiticity. Note that there is no requirement of
hermiticity for the Weyl components of a Dirac operator. All these
elements are realised if in the continuum Dirac operator we substitute
forward (backward) and backward (forward) finite differences for the
derivatives in the right-handed and the left-handed Weyl components
respectively
$$\gamma_{\mu}\partial_{\mu} \rightarrow \left(\begin{array}{cc}
0 &\sigma_{\mu}\left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} - 1}{a}\right) \\
\sigma_{\mu}^{\dagger} \left(\frac{1 - e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{a}\right) &0
\end{array}\right) \eqno(3.8)$$
In Dirac basis the wave operator (3.8) assumes the form
$$\gamma_{\mu} \left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} - e^{ip_{\mu}a}}{2a}\right) -
\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5} \left(\frac{e^{-ip_{\mu}a} + e^{ip_{\mu}a} - 2}{2a}\right)
= \gamma_{\mu}\delta^{s}_{\mu} - \gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{\mu}
\eqno(3.9)$$
The `irrelevant term' $\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{\mu}$
coincides with the Wilson term in (2.9) if in the latter the parameter
$r$ is replaced by $\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}$. The representation (3.9)
has the correct hermiticity properties, is chirally invariant, and, as
is easily verified, free from doublers.

The price paid$^{3}$ for eliminating the doublers is the loss of
hypercubic and reflection symmetries. Hypercubic symmetry is the
remnant of $SO(4)$ symmetry on lattice and is the invariance under
rotation through ${\pi/2}$. This is lost because the
antisymmetric combination $\Delta^{a}_{\mu}$ does not transform as a
vector. As for reflection symmetry,
$\gamma_{4}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{4}$ is compatible but the remaining
pieces in the irrelevant term are not. Note that the sum of squares
$\displaystyle\sum_{\mu}(\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{\mu})^{2}$, does not
suffer from these incompatibilities. This suggests as remedy to use
instead the wave operator
$$\gamma_{\mu}\delta^{s}_{\mu} -
\gamma_{\mu}\epsilon_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{\mu} \equiv
\gamma_{\mu}\delta^{s}_{\mu} -
\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\Delta^{a}_{\mu} \eqno(3.10)$$
where $\epsilon_{\mu} = \pm 1$, with the prescription that all
correlation functions are to be obtained after averaging$^{7}$ over
$\epsilon_{\mu}$. What $\epsilon_{\mu}$ achives is the decoupling of
the finite difference, forward or backward, used for the $\mu$-th
component of the derivative from those used for the other components.
The (anti) correlation of finite differences used for the right-handed
and the left-handed Weyl components is, however, maintained by the
wave operator (3.10), so that the chiral structure (3.4) is preserved. The
wave operator (3.10) leads to the `free' fermion propagator
$$G^{0}_{F}(k)^{-1} = i\gamma_{\mu}\frac{\sin\left(k_{\mu}a\right)}{a} +
\gamma_{\mu}^{\epsilon}\gamma_{5} \frac{1 - \cos \left(k_{\mu}a\right)}{a}
\eqno(3.11)$$

Interactions with gauge fields are introduced, as usual, through the
link variables $U_{\mu}$, and the lattice action corresponding to the
wave operator (3.10) is given by
$$\begin{array}{lll}
S_{F} &=
&-\displaystyle\sum_{\mu}\frac{1}{2a}<\bar{\psi}\vert\left[\gamma_{\mu}
\left(e^{-ip_{\mu}a}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}-U_{\mu}e^{ip_{\mu}a}\right)\right.
\\
& &\left.+\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\left(2-e^{-ip_{\mu}a}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}
-U_{\mu}e^{ip_{\mu}a}\right)-m\right]\vert\psi>
\\
&=
&-\displaystyle\sum_{x,\mu}\frac{1}{2a}\left[\{\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma_{\mu}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)-\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma_{\mu}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)\}\right.
\\
&
&+\{2\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}\psi(x)-\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)
\\
&
&\left.-\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)\}-m\bar{\psi}(x)\psi(x)\right]
\end{array} \eqno(3.12)$$
We have introduced a mass `$m$' for the fermion which vanishes in the
chiral limit.

Ward identities for the U(1) vector and axial vector currents are
derived by requiring invariance of the partition function under the
local transformations
$$\psi(x) \rightarrow e^{i\alpha(x)}\psi(x), \hspace{1in} \bar{\psi}(x) \rightarrow
\bar{\psi}(x) e^{-i\alpha(x)}$$
and
$$\psi(x) \rightarrow e^{i\beta(x)\gamma_{5}}\psi(x), \hspace{1in} \bar{\psi}(x)
\rightarrow \bar{\psi}(x)e^{i\beta(x)\gamma_{5}} \eqno(3.13)$$
respectively. The Jacobians of fermion measure in the lattice fermion
action are trivial$^{9}$ for both the transformations (3.13).
Anomalies, if any, can arise only from lattice artifacts, the
`irrelevant terms'. The Ward identities on lattice, therefore, are
$$\frac{1}{a}<J^{+}_{\mu}(x)-J^{+}_{\mu}(x-\mu)> = \frac{1}{a} <
J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu 5}(x) - J_{\mu 5}^{\epsilon -}(x-\mu)>, \eqno(3.14)$$
$$\frac{1}{a}<J^{+}_{\mu 5}(x) - J^{+}_{\mu 5}(x-\mu)> =
\frac{1}{a}<J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu}(x) - J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu}(x-\mu)>,
\eqno(3.15)$$
where
$$J^{+}_{\mu}(x) \equiv
\frac{1}{2}\left[\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma_{\mu}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)+\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma_{\mu}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)\right],$$
$$J^{+}_{\mu 5}(x) \equiv
\frac{1}{2}\left[\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)+\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)\right],$$
$$J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu 5}(x) \equiv
\frac{1}{2}\left[\bar{\psi}(x)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)-\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)\right],$$
$$J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu 5}(x) \equiv
\frac{1}{2}\left[\bar{\psi}\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U_{\mu}(x)\psi(x+\mu)-\bar{\psi}(x+\mu)\gamma^{\epsilon}_{\mu}\gamma_{5}U^{\dagger}_{\mu}(x)\psi(x)\right].
\eqno(3.16)$$
The right hand sides of eqs.(3.14) and (3.15), if non-zero, are to be
identified as anomalies in U(1) vector and axial vector currents
respectively
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<\partial_{\mu}J_{\mu}(x)> &= &\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0}<Y> \\
&= &\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0}\frac{1}{a}<J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu 5}(x) -
J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu 5}(x-\mu)> \end{array} \eqno(3.17)$$
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<\partial_{\mu}J_{\mu 5}(x)> &= &\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0}<X> \\
&= &\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{a}<J_{\mu}^{\epsilon -}(x) -
J^{\epsilon -}_{\mu}(x-\mu)> \end{array} \eqno(3.18)$$

\section{U(1) Ward Identities in WCPT}

To evaluate $<X>$ and $<Y>$ it is convenient to start from their
operator representations
$$<Y> = Tr\gamma_{5}<x\vert\left(G_{F}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} +
R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}G_{F}\right)\vert x>$$
$$<X> = Tr<x\vert\left(G_{F}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} -
R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}G_{F}\right)\vert x> \eqno(4.1)$$
where $R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} \equiv
\gamma_{\lambda}\epsilon_{\lambda}R_{\lambda}$ with
$$R_{\lambda} \equiv \frac{2 - U_{\lambda}e^{ip_{\lambda}a} -
e^{-ip_{\lambda}a} U_{\lambda}^{\dagger}}{2a} \eqno(4.2)$$
The fermion propagator is given by
$$G^{-1}_{F} = i\left(D\!\!\!\!/\, - iR\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\gamma_{5} - im\right)
\eqno(4.3)$$
where
$$D_{\lambda} = \frac{U_{\lambda}e^{ip_{\lambda}a} -
e^{-ip_{\lambda}a} U^{\dagger}_{\lambda}}{2ia} \eqno(4.4)$$
In (4.1) `Tr' stands for trace over $\gamma$-matrices, and, in
non-abelian gauge theory, also over the symmetry matrices.

In {\it wcpt} the link variable $U_{\lambda} \approx 1 +
iagA_{\lambda}$, so
that for small lattice spacing
$$\begin{array}{lll}
D_{\lambda} &= &\left(s_{\lambda} + gA_{\lambda}\cos(p_{\lambda}a)\right) + 0(a)
\\
R_{\lambda} &= &c_{\lambda} + 0(a) \end{array} \eqno(4.5)$$
where
$$s_{\lambda} =
\frac{\sin\left(p_{\lambda}a\right)}{a}, \hspace{1in} c_{\lambda} = \frac{1 -
\cos(p_{\lambda} a)}{a} \eqno(4.6)$$
The commutators in {\it wcpt} are given by
$$\begin{array}{lll}
\left[R_{\lambda}, R_{\rho}\right] &= &\left[D_{\lambda}, R_{\rho}\right] = 0 \\
\left[D_{\lambda}, D_{\rho}\right] &= &F_{\lambda\rho}\cos(p_{\lambda}a)\cos(p_{\rho}a)
\equiv f_{\lambda\rho} \end{array} \eqno(4.7)$$
The quadratic form of the propagator ${\cal G}$, defined by
$$\begin{array}{lll}
{\cal G}^{-1} &\equiv &\left(G_{F} G^{\dagger}_{F}\right)^{-1} \\
&= &\left(D\!\!\!\!/\, + iR\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\gamma_{5} - im\right)
\left(D\!\!\!\!/\, + iR\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\gamma_{5} + im\right) \\
&= &\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}\left(D_{\lambda}^{2} + R^{2}_{\lambda}\right) +
\frac{i}{2}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}f_{\lambda\rho} -
2\gamma_{5}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}\epsilon_{\rho}R_{\rho}D_{\lambda}+m^{2}
\end{array} \eqno(4.8)$$
commutes with $\gamma_{5}$ and its trace with odd powers of
$\gamma$-matrices vanish. These properties lead to a simpler
structures
for $<Y>$ and $<X>$
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<Y> &= &Tr\gamma_{5}<x\vert\left(D\!\!\!\!/\,{\cal G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} +
R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal G}D\!\!\!\!/\,\right)\vert x> \\
<X> &= &Tr<x\vert\left(D\!\!\!\!/\,{\cal G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} -
R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal G}D\!\!\!\!/\,\right)\vert x> - 2i Tr
\gamma_{5}<x\vert R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\vert x> \end{array} \eqno(4.9)$$
In {\it wcpt} where both the lattice spacing `$a$' and the gauge
coupling `$g$'
are regarded as small, one can define a `potential' $V$
$${\cal G}^{-1} = {\cal G}^{-1}_{o} + V$$
and develop a perturbative series$^{5}$
$${\cal G} = {\cal G}_{o} - {\cal G}_{o}V{\cal G}_{o} + {\cal
G}_{o}V{\cal G}_{o}V{\cal G}_{o} + ........  \eqno(4.10)$$
where
$${\cal G}^{-1}_{o} = \displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}\left(s^{2}_{\lambda} + c^{2}_{\lambda}\right) +
m^{2} \eqno(4.11)$$
and
$$V =
\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}\left(2gA_{\lambda}s_{\lambda}\cos\left(p_{\lambda}a\right)+g^{2}A^{2}_{\lambda}\right)
+ \frac{i}{2}\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda, \rho}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}f_{\lambda\rho} -
2\gamma_{5}\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda,
\rho}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}\epsilon_{\rho}R_{\rho}D_{\lambda}\eqno(4.12).$$

Two factors play key role in the calculation of $<X>$ and $<Y>$ : (i)
terms odd in $R_{\lambda}$ drop out because of $\epsilon$-averaging,
and (ii) in the `physical' sector of the loop momentum $0 \leq
\vert k_{\lambda}\vert \leq {\pi/2a}, R_{\lambda}$ is of $0(a)$ whereas in the
`doubler' sector ${\pi/2a} \leq \vert k_{\lambda}\vert \leq {\pi/a}$
it is of $0\left({1/a}\right)$ and behaves like the mass of a Pauli-Villars
regulator field$^{10}$. One obtains (see Appendix)
$$\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0} <Y> = 0 \eqno(4.13)$$
so that the U(1) vector current is conserved
$$<\partial_{\mu}J_{\mu}(x)> = 0 \eqno(4.14)$$
In the expression for $<X>$, however, only the first term in (4.9)
vanishes so that
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<X> &= &-2i Tr \gamma_{5} <x\vert R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\vert x > \\
&= &2itr\left(F_{\lambda\rho}\tilde{F}_{\lambda\rho}\right)
\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\frac{d^{4}k}{(2\pi)^{4}}
\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}c^{2}_{\mu}\displaystyle\Pi_{\alpha}
\left(\cos(k_{\alpha}a)\right)}{\left[\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}(s^{2}_{\lambda}
+c^{2}_{\lambda})+m^{2}\right]^{3}}
\\
&=
&(i/2\pi^{4})tr\left(F_{\lambda\rho}\tilde{F}_{\lambda\rho}\right)
\displaystyle\sum^{4}_{\nu=1}(-1)^{\nu} {^{3}C_{\nu - 1}} I_{\nu} \end{array} \eqno(4.15)$$
where $\tilde{F}_{\lambda\rho}$ is the dual field tensor, `tr' stands
for trace of symmetry matrices, and
$$I_{\nu} = \int^{\frac{\pi}{2a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{2a}} d^{4}k \frac{\left(\frac{1
+ \cos(k_{\mu}a)}{a}\right)^{2}}{\left[\displaystyle\sum^{4}_{\lambda =
1}s^{2}_{\lambda} + \displaystyle\sum^{\nu}_{\lambda = 1}\left(\frac{1 +
\cos(k_{\lambda}a)}{a}\right)^{2}+m^{2}\right]^{3}} \eqno(4.16)$$
In the continuum limit $I_{\nu} = {\pi^{2}/2\nu}$. Thus the
model reproduces the ABJ anomaly
$$\begin{array}{lll}
< \partial_{\mu} J_{\mu 5}(x) > &= &\displaystyle\lim_{a\rightarrow 0} <X> \\
&= &-(i/16\pi^{2}) tr
\left(F_{\lambda\rho}\tilde{F}_{\lambda\rho}\right) \end{array}
\eqno(4.17)$$
Note that in (4.9) the subscript $\nu$ of $I_{\nu}$ has the meaning of
the number of components of the loop momentum with support in the
doubler sector ${\pi/2a} \leq \vert k_{\mu}\vert \leq {\pi/a}$.
For finite `$m$' the contribution from $\nu = 0$ vanishes in the
continuum limit. If, however, $m$ is zero the latter would exactly
cancel the right hand side of (4.15). For a nonvanishing anomaly it is,
therefore, essential that the continuum limit is taken first and
chiral limit $m = 0$, if necessary, afterwards. This is true also for
the calculation of anomaly in the Wilson model$^{5}$.

\section{Concluding Remarks}

Our search for a model of lattice fermion which is, (i) free from
doublers, (ii) hermitian, and (iii) chirally invariant, has paid rich
dividends. Not only is the model free from doublers, it reproduces in
{\it wcpt} in the continuum limit the correct Ward identities, and, most
importantly, the ABJ anomaly in the U(1) axial vector current. In
this respect the model measures up to the Wilson model. In a very
crucial way, however, the two models differ. Whereas chiral symmetry
is broken explicitly by the Wilson term, the irrelevant  term in the
proposed model is chirally invariant. This makes the latter a viable
candidate for chiral lattice gauge theories.

An important lesson of the present exercise is that the ABJ anomaly
can be realised even with a chirally invariant term. What is important
is that the physical fermion has, to start with, a small but non-zero
mass and the chiral limit $m= 0$ is taken only after the continuum
limit. If the order of the two limits is reversed the ABJ anomaly
disappears. The same observation, interestingly enough, is true also
in the chiral symmetry breaking Wilson model. In the absence of the
mass term, a chirally invariant action for lattice gauge theory
breaks up into two completely decoupled Weyl components. In Weyl
basis, vector and axial vector currents lose their individual identity
and both the currents are conserved. By coupling the two Weyl
components, the mass term brings about an asymmetry between the vector
and the axial vector currents. This asymmetry is apparently the
genesis of the ABJ anomaly. The ABJ anomaly, once it materialises,
persists even when the parameter $m$, which triggered it, vanishes.
There is a parallelism here with the phenomenon of ferromagnetism. A
magnetic field, however weak, is needed to trigger the magnetised state of
ferromagnet, and, once realised, the state persists even in the
symmetruy limit corresponding to zero field. For ferromagnetism, we
have to take the thermodynamic limit first and the symmetry limit
afterwards just as for ABJ anomaly the continuum limit $a = 0$ must
precede the chiral limit.

\newpage
\centerline{\bf\large Appendix}

We show in the following how the first term of (4.9), let us call it
$<X_{o}>$, and $<Y>$ vanish in the continuum limit. The crucial
ingredients are Dirac trace, $\epsilon_{\mu}$-averaging and locality of
the matrix elements.

To illustrate the locality property, concentrate on a typical term
$$< x \vert R_{\alpha}{\cal G}_{o}f_{\lambda\rho}{\cal
G}_{o}R_{\lambda}D_{\nu}{\cal G}_{o}D_{\beta}\vert x>$$
$$= \int\int<x\vert c_{\alpha}{\cal G}_{o}\vert
k>\frac{d^{4}k}{(2\pi)^{4}}<k\vert
f_{\lambda\rho}\vert y>d^{4}y<y\vert{\cal G}_{o}R_{\lambda}D_{\nu}{\cal G}_{o}D_{\beta}\vert x>$$
$$= \int\int
\frac{d^{4}k}{(2\pi)^{4}}\left[\frac{e^{ik(x-y)}c_{\alpha}}{\displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}\left(c^{2}_{\lambda}
+ s^{2}_{\lambda}\right) + m^{2}}\right]d^{4}y
f_{\lambda\rho}(y)<y\vert {\cal G}_{o}R_{\lambda}D_{\nu}{\cal G}_{o}D_{\beta}\vert x>$$
In the physical region $0 \leq \vert k_{\mu} \vert \leq
{\pi/2a}, c_{\alpha} \sim 0(a)$ and the integral vanishes in the
continuum limit, whereas in the nonphysical or doubler sector
${\pi/2a} \leq \vert k_{\mu} \vert \leq {\pi/a}$, the
denominator in the square bracket is of $0\left({1/a^{2}}\right)$ but the
numerator is at most of order $0\left({1/a}\right)$ unless $x = y$. The
same argument can be continued and extended for the remaining factors
and hence proves the locality prperty. Note the parallelism here of
the role of $c_{\lambda}$ in doubler sector with that of the mass of
the Pauli-Villars regulator field in the calculation of chiral
anomalies$^{10}$.

We now illustrate (4.13). Using locality and Dirac trace
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<Y> &= &tr\gamma_{5}<x\vert D\!\!\!\!/\,{\cal G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon} +
R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal G}D\!\!\!\!/\,\vert x> \\
&= &-2 tr\gamma_{5}<x\vert R^{\epsilon}_{\alpha}D_{\alpha}{\cal
G}_{o}V{\cal G}_{o}V{\cal G}_{o}\vert x> \end{array}$$
where $V = V_{5}$ or ${i/2}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}f_{\lambda\rho}$.
Averaging of $\epsilon_{\mu}$ and locality now gives
$$\begin{array}{lll}
<Y> &= &-i tr\left(\sigma_{\lambda\rho}\sigma{\lambda\rho}\right)<x\vert
R^{2}_{\alpha}D_{\alpha}{\cal G}_{o}\left(D_{\beta}{\cal
G}_{o}f_{\lambda\rho} + f_{\lambda\rho}{\cal G}_{o}D_{\beta}\right){\cal
G}_{o}\vert x> \\
&= &-i
tr \left(\sigma_{\lambda\rho}\sigma_{\alpha\beta}\right)<x\vert\frac{\left(R^{2}_{\alpha}
+ R^{2}_{\beta}\right)}{2}\left(D_{\alpha}D_{\beta} +
D_{\beta}D_{\alpha}\right)f_{\lambda\rho}{\cal G}^{3}_{o}\vert x> \\
&= &0 \end{array}$$

Next we turn our attention to $<X_{o}>$.
$$<X_{o}> = <\tilde{X}_{o}> - <\tilde{X}_{o}^{\dagger}>,$$
where
$$<\tilde{X}_{o}> = Tr <x\vert D\!\!\!\!/\,{\cal
G}R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}\vert x>$$
now,
$$<\tilde{X}_{o}> = <\tilde{X}_{o1}> + <\tilde{X}_{o2}>,$$
with,
$$<\tilde{X}_{o1}> = tr <x\vert R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal
G}_{o}V_{5}{\cal
G}_{o}\frac{i}{2}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}f_{\lambda\rho}{\cal
G}_{o}D\!\!\!\!/\,\vert x>$$
and
$$<\tilde{X}_{o2}> = tr <x\vert R\!\!\!\!/\,^{\epsilon}{\cal
G}_{o}\frac{i}{2}\sigma_{2\rho}f_{2\rho}{\cal G}_{o}V_{5}{\cal
G}_{o}D\!\!\!\!/\,\vert x>,$$
after plugging in the perturbative expansion for ${\cal G}$ in terms of
${\cal G}_{o}$ and $V$.

After $\epsilon_{\mu}$-averaging, putting in ${R^{2}/4}$ in
place of $R^{2}_{\alpha} \left(R^{2} = \displaystyle\sum_{\lambda}R^{2}_{\lambda}\right)$, and
using locality, we finally obtain,
$$<\tilde{X}_{o1}> = \frac{i}{4}\displaystyle\sum_{\beta,\lambda,\nu,\rho}
Tr\left(\gamma_{5}\sigma_{\beta\nu}\sigma_{\lambda\rho}\right)<x\vert
R^{2}D_{\beta}{\cal G}_{o}D_{\nu}{\cal G}_{o}f_{\lambda\rho}{\cal
G}_{o}\vert x>$$
Similarly, we find, $<\tilde{X}_{o2}> = - <\tilde{X}_{o1}>$, so that
$<\tilde{X}_{o}> = 0$, implying $<X_{o}> = 0$ in the continuum limit.

Although by no means a large nation, Malaysia is an incredibly diverse one. Whether your interests are culinary or cultural, whether you're a nature lover or bargain hunter, the country has it in spades.
Here, we explore the rich cultural and natural heritage of the two amazing states that make up Malaysian Borneo, and urge you to do the same.
The land of the white Rajahs and hornbills, Sarawak's intriguing mix of ethnic cultures, colourful history and landscape has long enthralled visitors.
While we are not suggesting Kuching is the cultural capital of Sarawak, its living heritage of indigenous cultures and practises, and support by both state and federal government tourism boards, has helped turn 'Cat City' (literal translation of Bandar Kuching) into a cultural hub to contend with.
Begin your journey at the Sarawak State Museum where little has changed at the Ethnology section. Located in a beautiful 19th century colonial building set on the edge of a public garden, its collections will remind you of Victorian curiosities including dusty stuffed and mounted animals.
In stark contrast is the The Urang Sarawak: Pameran Tentang Kita (Sarawakian: an Exhibition About Us) exhibit. Situated in the adjacent building, this highly interactive and imaginatively display delves into Melanau, Kayan and Iban cosmology, providing a fascinating framework for practises like traditional medicine, shamanism, burial rites and headhunting.
It also explains the impact of the Brookes (the White Rajahs) on cultural practices and tribal loyalties. We learned more here than we had in any history class!
We were invited to the inaugural Rainforest Fringe Festival in July last year, and were so bowled over by what we saw and heard, that we can't wait for this year's edition (PS: it's taking place 6-15 July 2018 in Kuching).
Bringing together music, arts, film, crafts, and culture in a series of events, exhibitions, talks and screenings, organiser Joe Sidek and team (the same creative force behind the fantastic George Town Festival and Butterworth Fringe Festival in Penang) have curated a thought-provoking event against a backdrop of gradually vanishing indigenous cultures and bio-diverse ecosystems that lent a sense of urgency to proceedings.
Held over ten days and providing a perfect prelude to the Rainforest Music Festival, last year's highlights included a talk on British Naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (famed for having collecting specimens and writing Sarawak Law, which proposed ideas on evolution predating Darwin's Origin Of Species) and local artist Raphael Scott Ahbeng's emotive Sarawakian landscapes.
Plus, there was also acclaimed wildlife and nature photographer Chien C. Lee's breathtaking captures of Borneo's amazing flora and fauna, a fashion show including designers like Kuching's own Tom Abang Saufi, and traditional tribal tattoos. Mark your calendar and discover this festival for yourself this July 2018.
With 20 editions to its name, the Rainforest World Music Festival has undergone various permutations but retained its laid-back charm and earthly energy. Held annually in July, its rousing mix of world and indigenous musical performances by world class artists and intimate workshops make it unmissable.
Additionally its location in the Sarawak Cultural Village at the foothills of Gunung Santubong provides a chance to wander through the varied traditional houses of Sarawak's many ethnic groups.
We'd be hard pressed to pick Malaysia's most beautiful state, but Sabah is a strong contender. A land of contrast located at the northern tip of Borneo, its confluence of mountain, sea, and forest has turned it into a top eco-tourism destination.
Championed by Sir David Attenborough, who has repeatedly filmed here for his wildlife documentaries, Sabah is home to the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary, a narrow corridor of forest that snakes alongside the mighty Kinabatangan River. Home to unique and endangered species like the proboscis monkey, pygmy elephant and orang utan, a river safari is ideal for spotting these animals in the wild.
The Borneo Sunbear Conservation Centre (BSBCC) located opposite the Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre in Sepilok, near the seaside town of Sandakan, is dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating the elusive Malayan Sun Bear, many of whom are orphaned or kept as illegal pets.
Visitors can catch a glimpse of these nimble creatures climbing trees and hunting for insects in their forest enclosures. Alternately, volunteer at the centre where you'll get feed, look after and design enrichment for them over a two-week period.
Surrounded by calm warm waters, Sabah offers the country's best diving despite stiff competition from Kelantan and Terengganu. Frequently listed in the world's top 10 diving sites, Sipadan is a magnet for wall divers and underwater photographers who come for barracuda tornadoes and schools of hammerhead sharks. Semporna provides access to the fabulous islands of Mabul, Mataking and Kapalai.
Volunteer and dive with TRACC who are based on Pom Pom, and is the brainchild of Professor Steve Oakley, a marine biologist and conservationist who sadly died in 2016. His work continues and you can contribute by helping to repair coral reefs where turtles nest and are sighted daily.
At 4,095 metres, climbing Aki Nabalu (as Malaysia's tallest mountain, Mount Kinabalu, is known colloquially as) is quite a challenge. There are two routes to the top via Timpohon and Ranau with a third (Kota Belud) being developed.
Booking ahead is essential, and you can also experience the world's highest Via Ferrata. Not for the faint-hearted, you'll climb down vertical rock faces, dangle over verges and navigate narrow bridges clipped to a steel cable at 3,776 metres above sea level. And yes, kids (above ten) can do it too.
The less popular Gunung Trus Madi is Sabah and Malaysia's second tallest peak and is reputed to be even harder as you make your way over tough terrain through dense jungle and must camp overnight.
A stone's throw from Kota Kinabalu Park, Kundasang War Memorial's Contemplation Garden is a simple but powerful tribute to the 2,345 allied prisoners of war (POWs) and locals that died during the Borneo Death March and Japanese Occupation.
You can retrace the final steps of these brave men by trekking the Sandakan Death March trail. Australian-based company Wild Spirit Adventures runs a ten-day trek on average twice a month, while local outfit TYK Treks offers a nine and 12-day trek option and includes a visit to Labuan's Commonwealth War Cemetery.
According to the state tourism board, the eastern part of Sabah (from Kudat in the north to Tawau near the Indonesian border) has been designated as the Eastern Sabah Security Zone. Security forces are stationed on islands with resorts with a curfew running from 7pm to 5am. Check your country's security warnings on this region before travelling.

4.6 If a user wishes to grant rights to a song posted on SongShare to a third party (e.g., a publisher other than Integrity Music), then the rights can only be granted once the Term for such song's use on SongShare has expired, unless otherwise agreed in advance by us. If you wish to grant rights to a song posted on SongShare during the song's license Term, please contact uscustomerservice@weareworship.com and raise a support query.
What You Can Do on SongShare/Messaging
5.1 A user who has created a profile can upload a maximum of three (3) song titles at any one time. We reserve the right to change this limitation at any time. You may upload song files in text, chart/musical notation and audio file formats. One title (even if uploaded in all three formats) constitutes one song.
5.2 You can only change, delete or swap a song after it has been on the site for a minimum of 90 days. The option to delete a song once you have initially saved it to your profile will not show up on your profile until 90 days after it has been live. You can then swap a song for another song or delete songs, but you may not have more than three (3) songs under your profile at any one time. We reserve the right to change this functionality and limitation.
5.3 When you "delete" a song from your profile, the operation is fully destructive and the song will lose all of its "Shares", "Views" and files and will not be available to you or other users. However, we will retain these song files in our database for a period of at least 12 months from the date of deletion in order to allow us to respond to any legal issues that may arise pertaining to such song files.
5.4 SongShare shall provide streams but not downloads of song audio files. By uploading audio files to SongShare, however, you should be aware that it may be possible for people to download and save copies of any audio files you upload (or that we stream) and we expressly disclaim responsibility or liability for anyone's circumvention of our streaming technology to make unauthorized copies of your songs. You have the sole right and authority to pursue infringers of your songs. We take no responsibility for third party infringements of your songs or rights.
5.5 You can link to any video relating to your song if this video is on YouTube legally and the links comply with YouTube's permissions, policies and linking terms.
5.6 Anyone can "Report" a song for being inappropriate, illegal, infringing or otherwise harmful. If a song is reported, we shall immediately remove access to the song and provide notice to the user who uploaded the song, who will have a chance to rebut the claims. We shall have the sole right to determine whether a song can be made available on SongShare. To report a song, please use the "Report" feature on the site or email us.
5.7 You may have the ability to send messages to other users on the site or to post communications on public areas of the site. We may provide you with an option to opt out of messaging. The contents of messages will not be in private emails, but may be "pushed" to a user's browser if they are online when a message is sent to them to provide instant notification and access to the message. The content of the message is included in this "pushed" data. Messages are pushed via a separate third party server operated on behalf of us and secured via SSL. Although we attempt to transfer all message via HTTPS, the messaging system should not be considered "secure" and no sensitive data (including but not limited to financial or location data) should be sent using the system. We may keep copies of any messages sent on our site in accordance with the Privacy Policy. We accept no liability for any loss, damage, or harm that may result from using the messaging system.
5.8 You may have the option to add location data to your profile. This will allow churches or ministries to search for your services or songs. It's our way of enabling the community to specify their willingness to serve, e.g. "I am willing to serve up to {once, twice, three times every year} for churches within {1 mile, 2 miles, 5 miles, 10 miles} from where I live." You may be contacted by churches through messaging built into the site and you agree to be contacted if you have posted your location data.
What You Cannot Do on SongShare
6.1 You must not upload any song that is co-owned or owned by other people or companies. Unauthorized uploading of files is illegal and may subject you to serious penalties and claims.
6.2 You must not upload any song that is currently subject to a licensing, song publishing or administration agreement with any other entity or person.
6.3 You must not upload any content, lyrics, audio files or YouTube links which are defamatory, inappropriate, or abusive, which do not comply with the intended use of SongShare, or which violate the rights of others.
6.4 We will not tolerate any inappropriate use of the site, Messaging service, or of any communications tool on SongShare, for example but not limited to: bullying, inappropriate language, slander, third party advertising or solicitations, or any form of abuse. We may keep a record of your conversation on SongShare.
6.5 The SongShare team have a zero tolerance. We reserve the right to disable a user's account or block a user immediately for any reason in our sole discretion. Including but not limited to the violation of any of these Terms. We are not required to provide user with notice of any action we may take on the site to disable or block an account or profile. The decisions of the WeAreWorship SongShare team will be final.
6.6 If we are contacted by the authorities or third parties related to your behavior on the site, we may share your personal information with them without notice to you.
Your Representations and Warranties
7.1 You are wholly responsible for the content you upload. By uploading a song or asset, or any other information or data, you warrant and represent that you have full legal right to do so, and that no one else's permission is required and no payments are due for such use, and that the use on SongShare does not violate the rights (including copyrights) of any third parties.
7.2 You warrant and represent that you shall provide true and accurate information when you create a profile on SongShare, and that you are free to create this profile and share the information posted.
8.1 Binding. The community guidelines in these Terms and those that may be posted on SongShare from time to time are binding on you. We may update these guidelines from time to time, so we urge all users to review them periodically for changes.
8.2 Respect. We want WeAreWorship SongShare to continue to be an authentic and safe place for resourcing the church with worship songs. Please help us to foster this community. Only share songs you have written and which fulfill the purposes of SongShare. Respect everyone on SongShare; don't spam people or post anything distasteful.
8.3 Theological Differences. You may find songs on SongShare that you don't fully agree with theologically. Please respect that other people, other streams of churches and other denominations sometimes see the diamond of faith from another viewpoint. Just because someone has a different view to you does not mean you should "Report" the song to us. The "Report" feature should only be used for cases of unauthorized songs/infringement, or songs posted that are not in line with the purposes of SongShare (e.g., songs not intended for Christian church worship singing).
8.4 Privacy and Safety. You must use the messaging and contact features wisely and be aware of the potential of unauthorized uses of the site. Users are encouraged to start all conversations with people on messaging and only get in touch personally when they have corroborated who they are by connecting with the church they attend. SongShare may provide writers/worship leaders with the option to provide personal or contact information to churches, but it does not endorse anyone on the SongShare website. All sensible means of reaching out to people you do not know should be used BEFORE you meet with anyone. Responsibility for this lies completely with the User. NEVER visit anyone you do not know or for whom you cannot receive a trusted verification. As this functionality is entirely voluntary and local to you, we expect you will be able to find "someone who knows someone" within your local community who could help endorse a user you may not know. When in doubt, do not provide personal contact information to anyone on this site.
Claims of Violations
9.1 Any user can report any song or user as being in breach of any of these Terms.
9.2 We reserve the right to remove any song or user from the site, or not allow a user access to the site, pending resolution of any claim or permanently, at our discretion and without notice.
