Mathematical Aspects of Chiral Gauge Theories on the Lattice
نویسنده
چکیده
For two decades it was believed that chiral symmetries cannot be realized in lattice field theory but this has changed now. Highlights of these new developments will be presented with emphasis on the mathematical structure of the so called “overlap”.

A 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 کاملAbelian and Nonabelian Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories through Gauge Fixing
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 constructed through the gauge-fixing approach. In addition, we indicate how we believe that the method may be extended to nonabelian chiral gauge theories.
متن کاملLattice 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 کاملChiral Gauge Theories on the Lattice with Exact Gauge Invariance *
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.
متن کاملRegularization of Chiral Gauge Theories
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 a functional integral which is regularized in the continuum. Our result for the chiral determinant is expressed in terms of the vector-like Dirac operator a...
