We give a general derivation of Ginsparg-Wilson relations for both Dirac and Majorana fermions in any dimension. These relations encode continuous and discrete chiral, parity and time reversal anomalies and will apply to the various classes…
We discuss two modifications of domain-wall fermions, aimed to reduce the chiral-symmetry violations presently encountered in numerical simulations.
Lattice N=1 super-Yang-Mills theory formulated using Ginsparg-Wilson fermions provides a rigorous non-perturbative definition of the continuum theory that requires no fine-tuning as the lattice spacing is reduced to zero. Domain wall…
We report on salient features of a mixed lattice QCD action using valence M\"{o}bius domain-wall fermions solved on the dynamical $N_f=2+1+1$ HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC Collaboration. The approximate chiral symmetry properties of…
At stronger gauge-field couplings, the domain wall fermion (DWF) residual mass, a measure of chiral symmetry breaking, grows rapidly. This measure is largely due to near zero fermion eigenmodes of logarithm of the 4D transfer matrix along…
Our review of the lattice chiral fermion delves into some critical areas of lattice field theory. By abandoning Hermiticity, the non-Hermitian formulation circumvents the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem while maintaining chiral symmetry, a novel…
Considering relevant and irrelevant high-dimension operators for ordinary and mirror fermions respectively, we show that the Wilson lattice fermion can originate from a spontaneous symmetry breaking phenomenon. Ward identities, due to…

We construct domain wall fermions with a staggered kernel and investigate their spectral and chiral properties numerically in the Schwinger model. In some relevant cases we see an improvement of chirality by more than an order of magnitude…
Lattice chiral fermions are synonymous to the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. Indeed, this relation is satisfied by the overlap, domain wall and perfect action fermion kernel. In a recent work we have shown that it is possible to take a direct RG…
We investigate a U(1) chiral gauge model in 4+1 dimensions formulated on the lattice via the domain-wall method. We calculate an effective action for smooth background gauge fields at a fermion one loop level. From this calculation we…
The Ginsparg-Wilson relation, if written in a suitable form, can be used as a condition for lattice Dirac operators of massless fermions also in odd dimensions. The fermion action with such a Dirac operator is invariant under a generalized…
We present a detailed study of the interplay between chiral symmetry and spectral properties of the Dirac operator in lattice gauge theories. We consider, in the framework of the Schwinger model, the fixed point action and a fermion action…
The phase structure of lattice QCD with Wilson fermions is discussed. Analytic and numerical evidences are given for the spontaneous breaking of parity and flavor symmetry, which naturally explains the existence of the massless pion at the…
The Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation elegantly captures how the anomalous chiral symmetry of a Dirac fermion manifests on the lattice. In this talk, we discuss how the GW relation and its closed-form solution, the overlap operator, can be…
We extend the epsilon-expansion of continuum chiral perturbation theory to nonzero lattice spacing in the framework of Wilson Chiral Perturbation Theory. We distinguish various regimes by defining the relative power counting of the quark…

The magnitude of the $U_A(1)$ symmetry breaking is expected to affect the nature of $N_f=2$ QCD chiral phase transition. The explicit breaking of chiral symmetry due to realistic light quark mass is small, so it is important to use chiral…
