The overlap formula for the chiral determinant is presented and the realization of gauge anomalies and gauge field toplogy in this context is discussed. The ability of the overlap formalism to deal with supersymmetric theories and…
Chiral fermions resisted being put on the lattice for twenty years. This raised the suspicion that asymptotically free chiral gauge theories were not renormalizable outside perturbation theory and therefore could not be mathematically…
We show that gauge-transformation properties of correlation functions in chiral gauge theories on the finite lattice are determined in a general way.
Overlap fermions implement exact chiral symmetry on the lattice and are thus an appropriate tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the QCD vacuum. We study various chiral and topological aspects on…
We investigate a proposal for the construction of models with chiral fermions on the lattice using staggered fermions. In this approach the gauge invariance is broken by the coupling of the staggered fermions to the gauge fields. We aim at…
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…
An expression for the lattice effective action induced by chiral fermions in any even dimensions in terms of an overlap of two states is shown to have promising properties in two and four dimensions: The correct abelian anomaly is…
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…
We investigate the possibility of coupling a chemical potential only to the physical chiral fermions on the lattice starting from the many body state description of overlap fermions. After developing the formalism for a chiral gauge theory,…
We describe a conceptually simple, but important test for the overlap approach to the construction of lattice chiral gauge theories. We explain the equivalence of the overlap formula with a certain waveguide model for a simple set of gauge…
The Overlap-Dirac operator provides a lattice regularization of massless vector gauge theories with an exact chiral symmetry. Practical implementations of this operator and recent results in quenched QCD using this Overlap-Dirac operator…
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 present an update of the light meson spectrum with $N_f$=2+1 overlap fermions on a $16^3\times 48$ lattice at five different up and down quark masses and two strange quark masses. Based on our experience with the previous simulation with…
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.
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…
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.
A formulation of chiral gauge theories on a lattice which is both reflection positive and gauge invariant is discussed.
An expression for the lattice effective action induced by chiral fermions in any even dimensions in terms of an overlap of two states is shown to have promising properties in two dimensions: The correct abelian anomaly is reproduced and…
Dynamical nature of the gauge degrees of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied at $\beta=\infty$ for two- and four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theories in the vacuum overlap formalism. It is argued that the…
We formulate Hamiltonian vector-like lattice gauge theory using the overlap formula for the spatial fermionic part, $H_f$. We define a chiral charge, $Q_5$ which commutes with $H_f$, but not with the electric field term. There is an…
