Lattice regularization of chiral gauge theories to all orders of perturbation theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In the framework of perturbation theory, it is possible to put chiral gauge theories on the lattice without violating the gauge symmetry or other fundamental principles, provided the fermion representation of the gauge group is anomaly-free. The basic elements of this construction (which starts from the Ginsparg–Wilson relation) are briefly recalled and the exact cancellation of the gauge anomaly, at any fixed value of the lattice spacing and for any compact gauge group, is then proved rigorously through a recursive procedure.

A Wilson–Majorana Regularization for Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories
We discuss the regularization of chiral gauge theories on the lattice introducing only physical degrees of freedom. This is obtained by writing the Wilson term in a Majorana form, at the expense of the U(1) symmetry related to fermion number conservation. The idea of restoring chiral invariance in the continuum by introducing a properly chosen set of counterterms to be added to the tree level a...
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...

As a non-perturbative and gauge invariant regularization the lattice provides a tool for deeper understanding of the celebrated Yang-Mills theory, QCD and chiral gauge theories. For illustration, I discuss some analytic developments on the lattice related to chiral symmetry, chiral fermions and improvement programs. Chiral symmetry on the lattice has an amazing history, and it might influence o...

متن کاملMassless Decoupled Doublers: Chiral Yukawa Models and Chiral Gauge
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 theory and a Golterman–Petcher like symmetry related to the decoupling of the replicas in the non–perturbative regime is identified. In the case of Chiral Gauge...
