In spite of the breakthrough in non-perturbative chiral gauge theories during the last decade, the present formulation has stubborn artefacts. Independently of the fermion representation one is confronted with unwanted CP violation and…
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…
This paper gives an overview of a Workshop on Chiral Dynamics: Theory and Experiment which was held at MIT July 25-29, 1994; its unique feature was the equal mixture of theory and experiment. The purpose of the workshop was to bring…
After an introduction in which we review the fundamental difficulty in constructing lattice chiral gauge theories, we discuss the analytic and numerical evidence that abelian lattice chiral gauge theories can be non-perturbatively…
After a brief introduction to the overlap two examples relating to topological properties of chiral fermion systems in interaction with gauge fields are presented: It is shown how the overlap preserves the continuum structure of exact…

An introduction to the methods and ideas of Chiral Perturbation Theory is presented in this talk. The discussion is illustrated with some phenomenological predictions that can be compared with available experimental results.
Chiral fermions can (presumably) be constructed by introducing two regulators, one for the gauge fields (e.g. a lattice), and another for the fermion functional integrals in a fixed (regulated) gauge field. This talk discusses cutoff…
These are the proceedings of the fourth international workshop on "Chiral Dynamics: Theory and Experiment" which was held at the University of Bonn, September 8-13, 2003. The workshop concentrated on the various experimental andtheoretical…
A physical introduction to the basics of chiral dynamics is presented. Emphasis is placed on experimental tests which have generally demonstrated a strong confirmation of the predictions of chiral perturbation theory, a low energy effective…
Path integration over Euclidean chiral fermions is replaced by the quantum mechanics of an auxiliary system of non--interacting fermions. Our construction avoids the no--go theorem and faithfully maintains all the known important features…
A recently proposed formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories is reviewed, in which the locality and gauge invariance of the theory can be preserved if the fermion representation of the gauge group is anomaly-free.

A few subjects which strongly intertwine our field are discussed: K --> Pi Pi decay, chiral symmetry on the lattice and a few other selected topics. Open questions are touched also on perturbation theory, locality, Gribov copies, CP…

There exist chiral gauge models in two dimensions that have massless composite fermions. Two examples are presented and it is suggested that they be accepted as benchmark test-cases for generic proposals of non-perturbatively regulating…
As a non-perturbative and gauge invariant regularization the lattice provides a tool for deeper understanding of the celebrated Yang-Mills theory, QCD and chiral gauge theories. For illustration, I discuss some analytic developments on the…
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…
