The results and calculations of the article \cite{SY} is found erroneous for a generic $r$ and it remains irremediable in general. However for $r=0$, $r=\pm 1$, and $r >> 1$ it may be physically acceptable.
There exist both continuum and lattice regularizations of gauge theories with fermions which preserve chiral U(1) invariance ("fermion number"). Such regularizations necessarily break gauge invariance but, in a covariant gauge, one recovers…

We describe the most general treatment of all anomalies both for chiral and massless Dirac fermions, in two-dimensional gravity. It is shown that for this purpose two regularization dependent parameters are present in the effective action.…

We formulate chiral gauge theories non-perturbatively, using two different cuttoffs for the fermions and gauge bosons. We use a lattice with spacing $b$ to regulate the gauge fields in standard fashion, while computing the chiral fermion…
With the Coulomb gauge, the Chern-Simons-Georgi-Glashow (CSGG) model is quantized in the Dirac formalism for the constrained system. Combining the Gauss law and Coulomb gauge consistency condition, the difference between the Schwinger…

Dynamical nature of the gauge degree of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied for four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theory in the vacuum overlap formulation. The covariant gauge fixing term and the Faddeev-Popov…
A simple general proof of gauge invariance in QED is given in the framework of causal perturbation theory. It illustrates a method which can also be used in non-abelian gauge theories.
We consider non-Abelian gauged version of chiral boson with a generalized Faddeevian regularization. It is a second class constrained theory. We quantize the theory and analyze the phase space. It is shown that in spite of the lack of…
We describe a method to put chiral gauge theories on the lattice. Our method makes heavy use of the effective action for chiral fermions in the continuum, which is in general complex. As an example we discuss the chiral Schwinger model.
Anomalies of global symmetry provide powerful tool to constrain the dynamics of quantum systems, such as anomaly matching in the renormalization group flow and obstruction to symmetric mass generation. In this note we compute the anomalies…
We derive a dual theory of the four-dimensional anomalous U(1) gauge theory with a Wess--Zumino (WZ) term and with a St\"uckelberg type mass term by means of a duality transformation at each of the classical and quantum levels. It is shown…
We describe an implementation of a deconstructed gauge theory with charged fermions defined on an interval in five dimensional AdS space. The four dimensional slices are Minkowski, and the end slices support four dimensional chiral zero…
We report on recent progress with the definition of lattice chiral gauge theories, using a lattice action that includes a discretized Lorentz gauge-fixing term. This gauge-fixing term has a unique global minimum, and allows us to use…
