We present a new formulation of the staggered fermion on the D-dimensionallattice based on the SO(2D) Clifford algebra, which is naturally present in theaction. The action of the massless staggered fermion is invariant under thediscrete rotation and the SO(2D) chiral and other discrete transformations. From transformation properties of the fermion, we find two local mesonoperators (one scalar and one pseudoscalar) in addition to two standard mesonoperators.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figur
