We have investigated a proposal to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice using domain wall fermions. The model contains two opposite chirality zeromodes, which live on two domain walls. We couple only one of them to a gauge field,…

We report on an exploratory study of N_f=2 dynamical domain wall fermions and the DBW2 gauge action at weak coupling. Details of improved simulation algorithms and preliminary results for the hadron spectrum and renormalised light and…
We find the renormalisation coefficients of the quark field and the flavour non-singlet fermion bilinear operators for the domain wall fermion action, in the regularisation independent (RI) renormalisation scheme. Our results are from a…
We construct a model in which four dimensional chiral fermions arise on the boundaries of a five dimensional lattice with free boundary conditions in the fifth direction. The physical content is similar to Kaplan's model of domain wall…
We show how the standard domain wall action can be simply modified to allow arbitrarily exact chiral symmetry at finite fifth dimensional extent. We note that the method can be used for both quenched and dynamical calculations. We test the…
In the past year domain wall fermion simulations have moved from exploratory stages to the point where systematic effects can be studied with different gauge couplings, volumes, and lengths in the fifth dimension. Results are presented here…
We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. Motivated…
We carry out a numerical simulation of a domain-wall model in (4+1) dimensions, in the presence of a quenched U(1) dynamical gauge field only in an extra dimension, corresponding to the weak coupling limit of a (4-dimensional) physical…
We introduce the formulation of domain wall fermions in the context of lattice QCD. We prove the recovery of exact chiral symmetry in the limit of an infinite fifth direction, and derive the effective four-dimensional operator satisfying…
In a recent work Chiu proposed to modify domain wall fermions that allow in an optimal way fewer number of flavors than in the standard case. This is done using a variant of doamin wall fermions, the so-called truncated overlap fermions. In…
Perturbation theory for lattice fermions with domain wall mass terms is developed and is applied to investigate the chiral Schwinger model formulated on the lattice by Kaplan's method. We calculate the effective action for gauge fields to…
We give a simple model to explain the origin of fermion families, and chirality through the use of a domain wall placed in a five dimensional space-time.
It has recently been shown that Skyrmions with a fixed size can exist in theories without a Skyrme term, providing the Skyrmion is located on a domain wall. Here we numerically compute domain wall Skyrmions of this type, in a…
We present some results pertaining to partially quenched formulations of the overlap/domain wall operator with the Thirring model in 2+1D. Auxiliary fields are generated with a Shamir domain wall approach and measurements of eigenvalues and…
We present a formulation of domain wall fermions in the Schroedinger functional by following the universality argument given by L\"uscher. To check whether the formulation works, we examine the lowest eigenmode of the free domain wall…

A new formulation of chiral fermions on the lattice is presented. It is a version of overlap fermions, but built from the computationally efficient staggered fermions rather than the previously used Wilson fermions. The construction reduces…
Magnetic domain-walls (DWs) with a preferred chirality exhibit very efficient current-driven motion. Since structural inversion asymmetry (SIA) is required for their stability, the observation of chiral domain walls in highly symmetric…
