Staggered (Kogut-Susskind) fermions: 4 tastes, preserves U(1)×U(1) chiral

Layer 1 — Physicsin the lattice-field-theory subtree

Staggered / Kogut-Susskind fermions (1975) distribute 16 naive doublers across 16 lattice sites via a site-dependent phase η_μ(x) = (−1)^{x₁+…+x_{μ−1}}. After block-spin grouping 2⁴ sites, one-component Grassmann fields χ(x) combine into…
