Defining a Chiral Fermion Theory on a lattice has presented an ongoing challenge both in Condensed Matter physics and in Lattice Gauge Theory. In this paper, we demonstrate that a chiral free-fermion theory can live on an ultra-local…
A lattice regularization procedure for gauge theories is proposed in which fermions are given a special treatment such that all chiral flavor symmetries that are free of Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies are kept intact. There is no doubling of…
Although local Hamiltonians exhibit local time dynamics, this locality is not explicit in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture in the sense that the wavefunction amplitudes do not obey a local equation of motion. We show that geometric locality can…
A specific class of gauge theories is geometrically described in terms of fermions. In particular, it is shown how the geometrical frame presented naturally includes spontaneous symmetry breaking of Yang-Mills gauge theories without making…
We consider the gauged free fermionic matrix model, for a single fermionic matrix. In the large $N$ limit this system describes a $c=1/2$ chiral fermion in $1+1$ dimensions. The Gauss' law constraint implies that to obtain a physical state,…
The gauge-fixing parameter $\xi$ dependence of two-point gauge variant correlation functions is studied for QED and QCD. We show that, in three Euclidean dimensions, or for four-dimensional thermal gauge theories, the usual procedure of…
We define Weyl fermions on a finite lattice in such a way that in the path integral the action is gauge invariant but the functional measure is not. Two variants of such a formulation are tested in perturbative calculation of the fermion…

Causal fermion systems and Riemannian fermion systems are proposed as a framework for describing non-smooth geometries. In particular, this framework provides a setting for spinors on singular spaces. The underlying topological structures…
We investigate the Hamiltonian formulation of 1+1-dimensional staggered fermions and reconstruct the vector and axial charge operators, originally identified by Arkya Chatterjee et al., within the Wilson fermion formalism. These operators…
We revisit the gauge symmetry related to integrable projective transformations in metric-affine formalism, identifying the gauge field of the Weyl (conformal) symmetry as a dynamical component of the affine connection. In particular, we…
In the gauge-invariant construction of abelian chiral gauge theories on the lattice based on the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, the gauge anomaly is topological and its cohomologically trivial part plays the role of the local counter term. We…
A recently proposed formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories is reviewed, in which the locality and gauge invariance of the theory can be preserved if the fermion representation of the gauge group is anomaly-free.
We perform perturbative computations in a lattice gauge theory with a conformal measure that is quadratic in a non-compact abelian gauge field and is nonlocal, as inspired by the induced gauge action in massless QED$_3$. In a previous work,…
The Weyl fermion belonging to the real representation of the gauge group provides a simple illustrative example for L\"uscher's gauge-invariant lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories. We can explicitly construct the fermion…
Gauge-fixing as a sampling procedure of gauge copies provides a possibility to construct well-defined gauges also beyond perturbation theory. The implementation of such sampling strategies in lattice gauge theory is briefly outlined, and…
In this paper we study the structure of the Hilbert space for the recent noncommutative geometry models of gauge theories. We point out the presence of unphysical degrees of freedom similar to the ones appearing in lattice gauge theories…
Considering as an example a simple lattice ansatz for the chiral fermion determinant, we demonstrate that even very mild violation of gauge invariance by the determinant at finite lattice spacing leads to the need for another scale in the…
We show that the Dirac dressing of the fermion is equivalent to a shift of the gauge parameter. For every gauge, the gauge-dependent part is projected out of physical observables. After renormalization, the physical mass is the same for…
We construct the causal fermion system for globally hyperbolic spacetimes starting in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. The fermionic projector is identified with the one-particle density operator of a quasi-free Hadamard…
