We study the Gribov problem within a Hamiltonian formulation of pure Yang-Mills theory. For a particular gauge fixing, a finite volume modification of the axial gauge, we find an exact characterization of the space of gauge-inequivalent…

An alternative method to account for the Gribov ambiguities in gauge theories is presented. It is shown that, to eliminate Gribov ambiguities, at infinitesimal level, it is required to break the BRST symmetry in a soft manner. This can be…

We point out the existence of a non-perturbative exact nilpotent BRST symmetry for the Gribov-Zwanziger action in the Landau gauge. We then put forward a manifestly BRST invariant resolution of the Gribov gauge fixing ambiguity in the…

After a brief historical comment on the study of BRS(or BRST) symmetry , we discuss the quantization of gauge theories with Gribov copies. A path integral with BRST symmetry can be formulated by summing the Gribov-type copies in a very…

We reconsider gauge-transformation properties in chiral gauge theories on the lattice observing all pertinent information and show that these properties are actually determined in a general way for any gauge group and for any value of the…

After an introduction in which we review the fundamental difficulty in constructing lattice chiral gauge theories, we summarize the analytic and numerical evidence that abelian lattice chiral gauge theories can be nonperturbatively…

We extend the construction of lattice chiral gauge theories based on non-perturbative gauge fixing to the non-abelian case. A key ingredient is that fermion doublers can be avoided at a novel type of critical point which is only accessible…

The standard techniques of gauge-fixing, such as covariant gauge fixing, are entirely adequate for the purposes of studies of perturbative QCD. However, they fail in the nonperturbative regime due to the presence of Gribov copies. These…

Some general considerations on the problem of non-perturbative definition of Chiral Gauge Theories are presented.

The functional-integral quantization of non-Abelian gauge theories is affected by the Gribov problem at non-perturbative level: the requirement of preserving the supplementary conditions under gauge transformations leads to a non-linear…

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…

Chiral perturbation theory can be defined and regularized on a spacetime lattice. A few motivations are discussed here, and an explicit lattice Lagrangian is reviewed. A particular aspect of the connection between lattice chiral…

We discuss the problem of large gauge invariance at finite temperature.

We propose a modified lattice Landau gauge based on stereographically projecting the link variables on the circle S^1 -> R for compact U(1) or the 3-sphere S^3 -> R^3 for SU(2) before imposing the Landau gauge condition. This can reduce the…

Perturbative QCD uses the Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure, which leads to ghosts and the local BRST invariance of the gauge-fixed perturbative QCD action. In the asymptotic regime, where perturbative QCD is relevant, Gribov copies can…

L\"uscher's recent formulation of Abelian chiral gauge theories on the lattice, in the vacuum (or perturbative) sector in infinite volume, is reinterpreted in terms of the lattice covariant regularization. The gauge invariance of the…

This is a review of the status and outstanding issues in attempts to construct chiral lattice gauge theories by decoupling the mirror fermions from a vectorlike theory. In the first half, we explain why studying nonperturbative chiral gauge…

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…

We present a local setup for the recently introduced BRST-invariant formulation of Yang-Mills theories for linear covariant gauges that takes into account the existence of gauge copies \`a la Gribov and Zwanziger. Through the convenient use…

We review many topics and results about numeric gauge fixing in lattice QCD.
