Lattice fermions have well-known difficulties with chiral symmetry. To evade them it is possible to couple continuum fermions to lattice gauge fields, by introducing an interpolation of the latter. Following this line of thinking, this…

We construct the Schr\"odinger Functional (SF) setup for the M\"obius domain wall fermions (MDWF). The method is an extension of the method proposed by Takeda for the standard domain wall fermion. In order to fulfill the requirement that…

I demonstrate that the chiral properties of Domain Wall Fermions (DWF) in the large to intermediate lattice spacing regime of QCD, 1 to 2 GeV, are significantly improved by adding to the action two standard Wilson fermions with…

At a fixed lattice spacing, as determined by say m_\rho, adding additional fermion flavors to a dynamical simulation produces rougher gauge field configurations at the lattice scale. For domain wall fermions, these rough configurations lead…

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…

This paper develops in detail a lattice definition of QCD based on the chiral defect fermions recently introduced by Kaplan. The revised version provides missing technical details in the proof that non-singlet axial symmetries become exact…

We propose a formulation of lattice fermions with one-sided differences that is hermitian, chirally symmetric (barring a bare mass term) and completely free of doubling. To obtain the axial anomaly in perturbation theory it was necessary to…

The flavour singlet axial Ward identity with Osterwalder-Seiler twisted mass Wilson fermion action is studied on a finite lattice, with finite fermion mass and the Wilson parameter r up to 1. Approach to the infinite volume chiral limit and…

We formulate lattice theories in which chiral symmetry is realized nonlinearly on the fermion fields. In this framework the fermion mass term does not break chiral symmetry. This property allows us to use the Wilson term to remove the…

The domain wall fermion formalism in lattice gauge theory is much investigated recently. This is set up by reducing 4+1 dimensional theory to low energy effective 4 dimensional one. In order to look around other possibilities of realizing…

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the fundamental theory for the interaction between quarks and gluons. It manifests as the short-range strong interaction inside the nucleus, and plays an important role in the evolution of the early universe,…

We extend work by Callan and Harvey and show how the phase of the chiral fermion determinant in four dimensions is reproduced by zeromodes bound to a domain wall in five dimensions. The analysis could shed light on the applicability of…

I review some of the difficulties associated with chiral symmetry in the context of a lattice regulator. I discuss the structure of Wilson Fermions when the hopping parameter is in the vicinity of its critical value. Here one flavor…

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…
