This is an informal and approximate transcription of a talk presented at the DESY workshop, September 27--29, 1995. The basic message is that real and long overdue progress is taking place on the problem of regulating non--perturbatively…
This write-up starts by introducing lattice chirality to people possessing a fairly modern mathematical background, but little prior knowledge about modern physics. I then proceed to present two new and speculative ideas.
Summary talk presented at the Conference on Lattice Field Theory, Amsterdam, September, 1992. Abstract: The status of several proposals for defining a theory of chiral fermions on the lattice is reviewed and some new estimates for the upper…
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…
A summary is presented of the more theoretical aspects of the presentations made at Hyperon~99. In addition, some material is covered which was not presented at the symposium but which I feel is pertinent to the main theme of hyperons…
A recently proposed method for regularizing chiral gauge theories non-perturbatively is discussed in detail. The result is an effective action which can be computed from the lattice gauge field, and which is suited for numerical…
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…
Instead of the Ginsparg-Wilson relation only generalized chiral symmetry is required. The resulting much larger class of Dirac operators for massless fermions is investigated and a general construction for them is given. It is also shown…
Overlap formalism deals with the construction of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. These set of lectures provide a pedagogical introduction to the subject with emphasis on chiral anomalies and gauge field topology. Subtleties associated…
I review the ongoing attempts to define chiral gauge theories using the lattice regularization.
In the last century the non-perturbative regularization of chiral fermions was a long-standing problem. We review how this problem was finally overcome by the formulation of a modified but exact form of chiral symmetry on the lattice. This…
I review the substantial progress which has been made recently with the non-perturbative construction of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In particular, I discuss three different approaches: a gauge invariant method using fermions…
The main ideas behind the new ways to preserve chiral symmetries for lattice fermions are presented. The discussion is focused on vector-like fermions, the case relevant for lattice QCD.
The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…
The subject of these summer school lectures are (i) Chiral symmetry; (ii) Anomalies; (iii) Domain wall fermions; (iv) Overlap fermions and the Ginsparg-Wilson equation
This is the summary talk of a meeting held at the California Institute of Technology Sept 10-13, 2001. I do not attempt to summarize all the beautiful experimental results we have seen this week, nor to repeat the lively theoretical…
The external fermion propagator and the internal fermion propagator in the overlap are given by different matrices. A generic problem (formulated by Pelissetto) faced by all chiral, non-local, propagators of Rebbi type is avoided in this…
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…
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…
This talk summarizes recent progress in lattice QCD for dense quark matter. The emphasis is on the insights obtained from analytical results derived within chiral perturbation theory.
