Within the overlap framework, I derive the main formulae one finds today in papers touting a ``new approach'' to the regularization of chiral gauge theories. My main objective is to clear up an unhealthy confusion about how many successful…

I present the recent developments in a specific sub-field of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. This sub-field pertains to the use of infinitely many fermi fields to describe a single chiral field. In this approach, both anomalous and…

I review the ongoing attempts to define chiral gauge theories using the lattice regularization.
We briefly review the overlap formalism for chiral gauge theories, the overlap Dirac operator for massless fermions and its connection to domain wall fermions. We describe properties of the overlap Dirac operator, and methods to implement…
The overlap formulation is applied to an anomaly free combination of chiral fermions coupled to U(1) gauge fields on a 2D torus. Evidence is presented that gauge averaging the overlap phases in these models produces correct continuum…

During the last several years a non-perturbative formulation of exact chiral symmetry on the lattice has been developed. I shall outline the main ideas of these developments and discuss prospects for the future. The focus will be on the…
The overlap formulation is applied to calculate the chiral determinant on a two-dimensional torus with twisted boundary conditions. We evaluate first the continuum overlap, which is convergent and well-defined, and yields the correct string…
Feynman rules for the vacuum amplitude of fermions coupled to external gauge and Higgs fields in a domain wall lattice model are derived using time--dependent perturbation theory. They have a clear and simple structure corresponding to…
Renormalizability of a lattice chiral fermion is studied at one loop level in the overlap formulation in four dimensions. The fermion chirality is examined including the self-energy corrections due to gauge interactions. Divergent terms…
We consider anomaly free combinations of chiral fermions coupled to $U(1)$ gauge fields on a 2D torus first in the continuum and then on the lattice in the overlap formulation. Both in the continuum and on the lattice, when the background…
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…
