Abstract

An alternative approach to lattice gauge theory has been under development for the past decade. It is based on discretizing the operator Heisenberg equations of motion in such a way as to preserve the canonical commutation relations at each lattice site. It is now known how to formulate a non-Abelian gauge theory within this framework. The formulation appears to be free of fermion doubling. Since the theory is unitary, a time-development operator (Hamiltonian) can be constructed.
