摘要:The construction of massless Majorana fermions with chiral Yukawa couplings on the lattice
is considered. We find topological obstructions tightly linked to those underlying the Nielsen-
Ninomiya no-go theorem. In contradistinction to chiral fermions the obstructions originate only
from the combination of the Dirac action and the Yukawa term. These findings are used to construct
a chirally invariant lattice action. We also show that the path intgral of this theory is given
by the Pfaffian of the corresponding Dirac operator.
