Abstract

In an attempt to circumvent the species doubling problem of lattice fermions, we consider a second-order lagrangian formalism. We conclude that the lattice regulator breaks the underlying chiral symmetry of the massless theory. Adjusting the coefficient of the induced Pauli coupling does not restore the symmetry in the continuum limit.
