A Construction of Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Path integration over Euclidean chiral fermions is replaced by the quantum mechanics of an auxiliary system of non{interacting fermions. Our construction avoids the no{go theorem and faithfully maintains all the known important features of chiral fermions, including the violation of some perturbative conservation laws by gauge eld conngurations of non{trivial topology.

Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories through Gauge Fixing
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 constructed through the gauge-fixing approach. While a complete non-abelian extension is still under construction, we also show how fermion-number violating processes...
متن کاملLattice Chiral Gauge Theories
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 which satisfy the Ginsparg–Wilson relation, and two gauge non-invariant methods, one using different cutoffs for the fermions and the gauge fields, and one using...
متن کاملChiral lattice gauge theories from warped domain walls and Ginsparg-Wilson fermions
We propose a construction of a 2-dimensional lattice chiral gauge theory. The construction may be viewed as a particular limit of an infinite warped 3-dimensional theory. We also present a " single-site " construction using Ginsparg-Wilson fermions which may avoid, in both 2 and 4 dimensions, the problems of waveguide-Yukawa models.
متن کاملA Lattice Construction of Chiral Gauge Theories
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 determinant on a finer lattice with spacing f ≪ b. This determinant is computed in the background of f -lattice gauge fields, obtained by gauge-covariantly inter...
متن کاملA Note on “Anomalous” Chiral Gauge Theories
We show that, the lattice regularization of chiral gauge theories proposed by Kaplan, when applied to a (2+1)-dimensional domain wall, produces a (1+1)-dimensional theory at low energy even if gauge anomaly produced by chiral fermions does not cancel. But the corresponding statement is not true in higher dimensions. Chiral gauge theories deserve deeper study because nature exhibits left-right a...
متن کاملSU(N) chiral gauge theories on the lattice: a quick overview
The construction of lattice chiral gauge theories (ChGTs) is an old problem. Because of the Nielsen–Ninomiya theorem [1] and the chiral anomaly [2], one either has to give up on chiral symmetry on the lattice, but enforce it to re-emerge in the continuum limit, or modify the lattice definition of chiral symmetry in order to maintain exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. For reviews, see refs. [...
