A definition of soft breaking of BRST symmetry in the field-antifield formalism is proposed, valid for general gauge theories and arbitrary gauge fixing. The Ward identities for the generating functionals of Green's functions are derived,…

We define Weyl fermions on a finite lattice in such a way that in the path integral the action is gauge invariant but the functional measure is not. Two variants of such a formulation are tested in perturbative calculation of the fermion…

Recently, Grabowska and Kaplan proposed a four-dimensional lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories on the basis of a chiral overlap operator. We compute the classical continuum limit of the fermion number anomaly in this formulation.…

The $SU(N_f)_L \otimes SU(N_f)_R$ chiral symmetry of QCD is of central importance for the nonperturbative low-energy dynamics of light quarks and gluons. Lattice field theory provides a theoretical framework in which these dynamics can be…

A review of chiral perturbation theory for lattice QCD at non-zero lattice spacing is given.

As first realized by Witten an SU(2) gauge theory coupled to a single Weyl fermion suffers from a global anomaly. This problem is addressed here in the context of the recent developments on chiral gauge theories on the lattice. We find…

I review recent progress achieved on the lattice in the quantitative comprehension of chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. Emphasis is given to the recent precise computations of the spectral density of the Dirac operator in the continuum…

We show that the recently constructed higher-derivative 6D SYM theory involves an internal chiral anomaly breaking gauge invariance. The anomaly is cancelled when adding to the theory an adjoint matter hypermultiplet.

We analyze the dynamics of an $SU_L(2)\otimes U_R(1)$ chiral gauge theory on a lattice with a large multifermion coupling $1\ll g_2 < \infty$. It is shown that no spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs; the ``spectator'' fermion $\psi_R(x)$…

Write-up for Lattice'92, held in Amsterdam. preprint LTH 291. Comes with 6 PostScript figures and 1 sty-file. We study the nature of gauge fixing ambiguities in two dimensional gauge theories. We find that these ambiguities can be related…

This review addresses the practical convergence of the ChPT series in the p-regime. In the SU(2) framework there is a number of new results, and improved estimates of \bar\ell_3 and \bar\ell_4 are available. In the SU(3) framework few new…

A new local, covariant and nilpotent symmetry is shown to exist for the interacting BRST invariant U(1) gauge theory in two dimensions of space-time. Under this new symmetry, it is the gauge-fixing term that remains invariant and the…

We propose a gauge-invariant system of the Chern-Simons-Schrodinger type on a one-dimensional lattice. By using the spatial gauge condition, we prove local and global well-posedness of the initial-value problem in the space of square…

The status of lattice determinations of quark masses is reviewed (with the exception of m_b). Attempts to extract the low-energy constants in the effective chiral Lagrangian are discussed, with special emphasis on those couplings which are…

A brief review on the progress made in the study of Chern-Simons gauge theory since its relation to knot theory was discovered ten years ago is presented. Emphasis is made on the analysis of the perturbative study of the theory and its…

In the absence of Gribov complications, the modified gauge fixing in gauge theory $ \int{\cal D}A_{\mu}\{\exp[-S_{YM}(A_{\mu})-\int f(A_{\mu})dx] /\int{\cal D}g\exp[-\int f(A_{\mu}^{g})dx]\}$ for example, $f(A_{\mu})=(1/2)(A_{\mu})^{2}$, is…

Mass as broken conformal symmetry: the graviton makes better sense as a Goldstone boson associated to the dilaton, than vice versa. The discussion of the Yamabe problem for the interior Schwarzschild solution [\S 4.2.4] has been sharpened…

Complete gauge-fixing beyond perturbation theory in non-Abelian gauge theories is a non-trivial problem. This is particularly evident in covariant gauges, where the Gribov-Singer ambiguity gives an explicit formulation of the problem. In…

We discuss the question in the title employing manifestly covariant Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory and recent high-statistics lattice results published in [1].

I review the current status of hadronic structure computations on the lattice. I describe the basic lattice techniques and difficulties and present some of the latest lattice results; in particular recent results of the RBC group using…
