We study the relation between the Roma and Zaragoza proposals for chiral fermions on the lattice. The fermion action in the Roma approach is shown to be equivalent to one of the Zaragoza type. This result is used to perform a mean-field…
Using the Zaragoza proposal for lattice chiral gauge fermions, the S, U and \Delta\rho parameters have been calculated at one loop. It is shown that the continuum values for these quantities can be reproduced without requiring explicit fine…
We study the phase structure of a $Z_2$ lattice Higgs-Yukawa system with different forms of chirally invariant lattice fermion actions: naive, two types of non-local actions, and a mirror fermion action. The calculations are performed in…
We pursue further an approach to lattice chiral fermions in which the fermions are treated in the continuum. To render the effective action gauge invariant, counterterms have to be introduced. We determine the counterterms for smooth gauge…
Chiral gauge groups acting on a lattice fermion field are constructed such that all fermion modes (doublers) have the same charge. Details are given for an abelian axial gauge group within a perturbative framework. An action based on this…
We describe a method to put chiral gauge theories on the lattice. Our method makes heavy use of the effective action for chiral fermions in the continuum, which is in general complex. As an example we discuss the chiral Schwinger model.
We consider fermion-gauge couplings in the Wilson-Yukawa approach for lattice chiral gauge theories. At the leading order of a fermionic hopping parameter expansion we find that the fermion-gauge coupling has a chiral and tree-like…
Recently we have discussed realization of an exact chiral symmetry in theories with self-interacting fermions on the lattice, based upon an auxiliary field method. In this paper we describe construction of the lattice chiral symmetry and…
We consider a lattice implementation of the eta-invariant, using the complex phase of the determinant of the simplified domain-wall fermion, which couples to an interpolating five-dimensional gauge field. We clarify the relation to the…
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…
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 present a calculation of the phase diagram of a $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ chiral Yukawa model with massless decoupled doublers, using a saddle point approach, both for small and large Yukawa coupling. Some preliminary MonteCarlo results are…
We discuss a method for regularizing chiral gauge theories. The idea is to formulate the gauge fields on the lattice, while the fermion determinant is regularized and computed in the continuum. A simple effective action emerges which lends…
A recently proposed method for regularizing chiral gauge theories non-perturbatively is discussed in detail. The result is an effective action which can be computed from the lattice gauge field, and which is suited for numerical…
Mirror fermions appear naturally in lattice formulations of the standard model. The phenomenological limits on their existence and discovery limits at future colliders are discussed. After an introduction of lattice actions for chiral…
We investigate a recent proposal to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice using domain wall fermions. We restrict ourselves to the finite volume case, in which two domain walls are present, with modes of opposite chirality on each…
We propose a new formulation of chiral fermions on a lattice, on the basis of a lattice extension of the covariant regularization scheme in continuum field theory. The species doublers do not emerge. The real part of the effective action is…
Several years ago it was conjectured in the so-called Roma Approach, that gauge fixing is an essential ingredient in the lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories. In this paper we discuss in detail how the gauge-fixing approach may be…
We present the phase structure of the chiral SU(2)xSU(2) scalar-fermion model on the lattice using the Zaragoza proposal for chiral fermions. The numerical result agrees with an analytic study based on the use of weak and strong Yukawa…
In this paper we propose a new approach to formulate the field theory on a lattice. This approach can eliminate the Fermion doubling problem, preserve the chiral symmetry and get the same dispersion relation for both Fermion and Boson…
