We describe a way to optimize the chiral behavior of Wilson-type lattice fermion actions by studying the low energy real eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. We find a candidate action, the clover action with fat links with a tuned clover…

The model with the fermions coupled in the non - minimal way to the gauge theory of Lorentz group is considered. The lattice regularization is suggested. It is argued that this model may exist in the phase with broken chiral symmetry and…

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 new staggered discretization of the Dirac operator. Doubling gives only a doublet of Dirac fermions which we propose to interpret as a physical (lepton or quark) doublet. If coupled with gauge fields, an $(1+\gamma^5)$ chiral…

The construction of massless Majorana fermions with chiral Yukawa couplings on the lattice is considered. We find topological obstructions tightly linked to those underlying the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem. In contradistinction to chiral…

Instead of the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation we only require generalized chiral symmetry and show that this results in a larger class of Dirac operators describing massless fermions, which in addition to GW fermions and to the ones proposed…

The chiral properties of lattice fermions can be improved by altering either their fermion-gauge coupling or the pure gauge part of the action (or both). Using both perturbation theory and nonperturbative simulation, we compare a simple…

The species doubling problem of the lattice fermion is resolved by introducing hopping interactions that mix left- and right-handed fermions around the momentum boundary. Approximate chiral symmetry is realized on the lattice. The deviation…

The reasons for the feasibility of the Microcanonical Fermionic Average ($MFA$) approach to lattice gauge theory with dynamical fermions are discussed. We then present a new exact algorithm, which is free from systematic errors and…

We consider recent progress in algorithms for generating gauge field configurations that include the dynamical effects of light fermions. We survey what has been achieved in recent state-of-the-art computations, and examine the trade-offs…

A few years ago some attention has been given to a fermionic action on the lattice, with a Wilson-like term which is chirally invariant but breaks the hypercubic space-time lattice symmetry. This action describes two Dirac fields in the…

Domain wall fermions are defined on a lattice with an extra direction the size of which controls the chiral properties of the theory. When gauge fields are coupled to domain wall fermions the extra direction is treated as an internal flavor…

We present the lattice formulation of effective Lagrangians in which chiral symmetry is realized nonlinearly on the fermion fields. In this framework both the Wilson term removing unphysical doubler fermions and the fermion mass term do not…

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…
