In a possible $SU_L(2)$ lattice chiral gauge theory with a large multifermion coupling, we try to further clarify the threshold phenomenon: the possibility that the right-handed three-fermion state turns into the virtual states of its…
We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. Motivated…
Recent lattice studies on (semi-)leptonic kaon decays towards a precise determination of V_us are reviewed. Attention is given to recent unquenched calculations and consistency of their results with chiral perturbation theory.
In a Hamiltonian formalism we study chiral symmetry for lattice Fermions formulated in terms of Shockley surface states bound to a wall in an extra spatial dimension. For hadronic physics this provides a natural scheme for taking quark…
The SU(3) chiral lagrangian for the lightest octets of mesons and baryons is constructed on a spacetime lattice. The lattice spacing acts as an ultraviolet momentum cutoff which appears directly in the Lagrangian so chiral symmetry remains…
In this talk I briefly comment on the conventional lattice gauge fixing adopting a critical, even though constructive, numerical point of view.
We construct a hierarchy of lattice fermions, where the coarser lattice Dirac operator is the Schur complement of the block UL decomposition of the finer lattice operator. We show that the construction is an exact gauged renormalisation…
I review the lattice formulations of vector-like gauge theories (e.g. QCD) with domain-wall/overlap fermions, and discuss how to optimize the chiral symmetry for any finite $ N_s $ (sites in the fifth dimension). In this formulation, quark…
We formulate Dirac fermions on a (1+1)-dimensional lattice based on a Hamiltonian formalism. The species doubling problem of the lattice fermion is resolved by introducing hopping interactions that mix left- and right-handed fermions around…
Chiral U(1) anomaly is derived with mathematical rigor for a Euclidean fermion coupled to a smooth external U(1) gauge field on an even dimensional torus as a continuum limit of lattice regularized fermion field theory with the Wilson term…
An anecdotal account of the author's role in the origins of lattice gauge theory, prepared for delivery on the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of "Confinement of Quarks" [Phys. Rev. D10 (1974) 2445].
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…
A brief summary of lattice fermions defined by the general Ginsparg-Wilson algebra is first given. It is then shown that those general class of fermion operators have a conflict with CP invariance in chiral gauge theory and with the…
After a very brief review of the formalism of lattice gauge theories we show how one can calculate the parameters of the continuum chiral Lagrangians proceeding through the derivation of an effective lattice chiral Lagrangian as an…
Some general considerations on the problem of non-perturbative definition of Chiral Gauge Theories are presented.
We discuss a proposal for the construction of lattice QCD with gauge action, fermionic action, theta-term, and the operators all based on the lattice Dirac operator D with exact chiral symmetry. The simplest regularization of this type uses…
In this contribution we give an introduction to the foundations and methods of lattice gauge theory. Starting with a brief discussion of the quantum mechanical path integral, we develop the main ingredients of lattice field theory:…
Gauge invariant chiral theories satisfying the reflection positivity is constructed on a lattice. This requires the introduction of "half gauge fields" defined some time ago by Brydges, Fr\"{o}hlich, and Seiler \cite{BFS}. A two-dimensional…
We review the status of the domain wall fermion approach to construct chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In this model an extra, fifth dimension is added and our 4-dimensional world lives on a domainwall induced by a soliton shaped mass…
Extensive studies have demonstrated that finite-range regularization (FRR) offers significantly improved chiral extrapolations for lattice QCD. These studies have typically relied on selecting the finite-regularization scale based upon…
