5. Summary5. Summary

• We have proposed that the topological property (like as BRST cohomology) should be used as a non-perturbative criteria to judge wheth

er supersymmetic lattice theories which preserve BRST charge

have the desired continuum limit or not.

40

We apply the criteria to N= (4,4) CKKU model

There is a possibility that topological property cannot be realized.

The target continuum limit might not be realized by including non-perturbative effect.

It can be a powerful criteria.

41

Discussion on the No-go result

(I) Homogeneous property of BRST transformation on the lattice.

(II) BRST transformation does not change the gauge transformation laws.

(I)and (II) plays the crucial role.

These relate with the gauge transformation law on the lattice.

Gauge parameters are defined on each sites as the independent parameters.
