Abstract

We analyze the dynamics of an SUL(2)UR(1)SU_L(2)\otimes U_R(1) chiral gauge theory on a lattice with a large multifermion coupling 1g2<1\ll g_2 < \infty. It is shown that no spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs; the ``spectator'' fermion ψR(x)\psi_R(x) is a free mode; doublers are decoupled as massive Dirac fermions consistently with the chiral gauge symmetry. Whether right-handed three-fermion states disappear and chiral fermions emerge in the low-energy limit are discussed. Provided right-handed three-fermion states disappear, we discuss the chiral gauge coupling, Ward identities, the gauge anomaly and anomalous UL(1)U_L(1) global current within the gauge-invariant prescription of renormalization of the gauge perturbation theory.
