The overlap approach to chiral gauge theories on arbitrary $D$--dimensional lattices is studied. The doubling problem and its relation to chiral anomalies for $D=2$ and 4 is examined. In each case it is shown that the doublers can be…
We discuss two proposals for a non-perturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In both cases gauge symmetry is broken by the regularization. We aim at a dynamical restoration of symmetry. If the gauge symmetry breaking…

A method for simulating chiral gauge theories on the lattice is proposed, involving zeromodes on a topological defect. Lattice doublers may be decoupled in a gauge invariant manner, and flavor anomalies can be directly observed on a finite…
We present a method for formulating gauge theories of chiral fermions in lattice field theory. The method makes use of a Wilson mass to remove doublers. Gauge invariance is then restored by modifying the theory in two ways: the magnitude of…
We show that noncommutative U(r) gauge theories with a chiral fermion in the adjoint representation can be constructed on the lattice with manifest star-gauge invariance in arbitrary even dimensions. Chiral fermions are implemented using a…
The chiral Jacobian, which is defined with Neuberger's overlap Dirac operator of the lattice fermion, is explicitly evaluated in the continuum limit without expanding it in the gauge coupling constant. Our calculational scheme is simple and…
We propose a nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories. The method involves a `pre-regulation' of the gauge fields, which may be implemented on a lattice, followed by a computation of the chiral fermion determinant in the form of…
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…
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…
A possible formulation of chiral gauge theories with an anomalous fermion content is re-examined in light of the lattice framework based on the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. It is shown that the fermion sector of a wide class of anomalous…
