We discuss a method for regularizing chiral gauge theories. The idea is to formulate the gauge fields on the lattice, while the fermion determinant is regularized and computed in the continuum. A simple effective action emerges which lends…
We propose a nonperturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories. The method involves a `pre-regulation' of the gauge fields, which may be implemented on a lattice, followed by a computation of the chiral fermion determinant in the form of…
I review the ongoing attempts to define chiral gauge theories using the lattice regularization.
We present a method for implementing gauge theories of chiral fermions on the lattice.
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…
We discuss two proposals for a non-perturbative formulation of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In both cases gauge symmetry is broken by the regularization. We aim at a dynamical restoration of symmetry. If the gauge symmetry breaking…
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.
I review the substantial progress which has been made recently with the non-perturbative construction of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In particular, I discuss three different approaches: a gauge invariant method using fermions…
A recently proposed formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories is reviewed, in which the locality and gauge invariance of the theory can be preserved if the fermion representation of the gauge group is anomaly-free.
Within the overlap framework, I derive the main formulae one finds today in papers touting a ``new approach'' to the regularization of chiral gauge theories. My main objective is to clear up an unhealthy confusion about how many successful…
A lattice regularization procedure for gauge theories is proposed in which fermions are given a special treatment such that all chiral flavor symmetries that are free of Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies are kept intact. There is no doubling of…
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…
We present a new method for regularizing chiral theories on the lattice. The arbitrariness in the regularization is used in order to decouple massless replica fermions. A continuum limit with only one fermion is obtained in perturbation…
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…
A method for simulating chiral gauge theories on the lattice is proposed, involving zeromodes on a topological defect. Lattice doublers may be decoupled in a gauge invariant manner, and flavor anomalies can be directly observed on a finite…
After an introduction in which we review the fundamental difficulty in constructing lattice chiral gauge theories, we discuss the analytic and numerical evidence that abelian lattice chiral gauge theories can be non-perturbatively…
We propose a nonperturbative gauge invariant regulator for d-dimensional chiral gauge theories on the lattice. The method involves simulating domain wall fermions in d + 1 dimensions with quantum gauge fields that reside on one…
The effective action induced by fermions in the chiral Schwinger model with charges (3,4,5) is investigated. Pauli-Villars regularization is combined with momentum cut-off for the evaluation of the fermion determinants on continuum gauge…
We present a method for formulating gauge theories of chiral fermions in lattice field theory. The method makes use of a Wilson mass to remove doublers. Gauge invariance is then restored by modifying the theory in two ways: the magnitude of…
The lattice formulation of gauge theories in a renormalizable gauge is discussed. The formulation invokes a new phase diagram, and it may allow for a lattice definition of Chiral Gauge Theories.
