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 کاملChiral gauge theories revisited
A characteristic feature of the electroweak interactions is that the leftand righthanded components of the fermion fields do not couple to the gauge fields in the same way. The term chiral gauge theory is reserved for field theories of this type, while all other gauge theories (such as QCD) are referred to as vector-like, since the gauge fields only couple to vector currents in this case. At fi...
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 کاملUniversality of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in gauge theories
We investigate one-flavor QCD with an additional chiral scalar field. For a large domain in the space of coupling constants, this model belongs to the same universality class as QCD, and the effects of the scalar become unobservable. This is connected to a “bound-state fixed point” of the renormalization flow for which all memory of the microscopic scalar interactions is lost. The QCD domain in...
متن کاملPatterns of Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Vectorlike Gauge Theories
It has been conjectured that spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in strongly coupled vectorlike gauge theories falls into only three different classes, depending on the gauge group and the representations carried by the fermions. We test this proposal by studying SU(2), SU(3) and SU(4) lattice gauge theories with staggered fermions in different irreducible representations. Staggered fermions a...
