Zusammenfassung:We construct a new discrete analogue of the Dirac-Kaehler equation in which some key geometric aspects of the continuum counterpart are captured. We describe a discrete Dirac-Kaehler equation in the intrinsic notation as a set of difference equations and prove several statements about its decomposition into difference equations of Duffin type. We study an analogue of gauge transformations for the massless discrete Dirac-Kaehler equations.
