We present a gauge independent Lagrangian method of abstracting the reduced space of a solvable model with Gribov-like ambiguity, recently proposed by Friedberg, Lee, Pang and Ren. The reduced space is found to agree with the explicit…

We construct symmetry-preserving lattice regularizations of 2d QED with one and two flavors of Dirac fermions, as well as the `3450' chiral gauge theory, by leveraging bosonization and recently-proposed modifications of Villain-type lattice…

Using the modified Villain lattice Hamiltonian formulation of the 1+1d compact boson theory, we construct exactly solvable abelian chiral lattice gauge theories in two spacetime dimensions. As a concrete example, we derive an explicit…

Recently, lattice formulations of 2D Abelian chiral gauge theory have been constructed based on Abelian bosonization. It is remarkable about these 2D lattice formulations that they reproduce the same gauge anomaly structure as the continuum…

The overlap formulation of regulated vectorial and chiral gauge theories is reviewed. Ostensibly new constructions, based on the Ginsparg-Wilson relation are essentially just overlap with new notation. At present there exists no…

Recently, two solutions have been proposed to the long standing problem of $\mathcal{CP}$-symmetry on the lattice, which is particularly evident when considering the construction of chiral gauge theories. The first, based on a lattice…

It is described how to obtain an almost gauge invariant lattice action $S$ for chiral gauge theories, or other models in which a straightforward discretization leads to a lattice action $S^\pr$ in which gauge invariance is broken. The…

A global extension of the Batalin-Marnelius proposal for a BRST inner product to gauge theories with topologically nontrivial gauge orbits is discussed. It is shown that their (appropriately adapted) method is applicable to a large class of…

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.

We investigate the way in which the Gribov problem is manifested in the BRST quantization of simple quantum mechanical models by comparing models with and without a Gribov problem. We show that the hermiticity and nilpotency of the BRST…

We construct a local, gauge-fixed, lattice Yang-Mills theory with an exact BRST invariance, and with the same perturbative expansion as the standard Yang-Mills theory. The ghost sector, and some of its BRST transformation rules, are…

We review the status of quantising (non-abelian) gauge theories using different versions of a Hamiltonian formulation corresponding to Dirac's instant and front form of dynamics, respectively. In order to control infrared divergences we…

I present a selection of recent lattice data by major collaborations for the pseudo-Goldstone boson masses in full ($N_f=2$) QCD, where the valence quarks are chosen exactly degenerate with the sea quarks. At least the more chiral points…

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…

It is shown that U(1) chiral gauge theories with anomaly-free multiplets of Weyl fermions can be put on the lattice without breaking the gauge invariance or violating any other fundamental principle. The Ginsparg-Wilson relation plays a key…

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…

I review some of the things we have learned about large N gauge theories (and QCD at N=oo) from lattice calculations in recent years. I point to some open problems.

%In order to understand how gauge fixing can be affected on the %lattice, we first study a simple model of pure Yang-mills theory on a %cylindrical spacetime [$SU(N)$ on $S^1 \times$ {\bf R}] where the %gauge fixed subspace is explicitly…

We consider theories with gauged chiral fermions in which there are abelian anomalies, and no nonabelian anomalies (but there may be nonabelian gauge fields present). We construct an associated theory that is gauge invariant,…

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…
