Massive Overlap Fermions on Anisotropic Lattices

Abstract

We formulate the massive overlap fermions on anisotropic lattices. We find that the dispersion relation for the overlap fermion resembles the continuum form in the low-momentum region once the bare parameters are properly tuned. The quark self-energy and the quark field renormalization constants are calculated to one-loop in bare lattice perturbation theory. We argue that massive domain wall quarks might be helpful in lattice QCD studies on heavy-light hadron spectroscopy.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figures, one reference added compared with v.
