چکیده
We describe a method for evaluating chiral gauge theories that is not plagued by the doubling problem. To demonstrate the efficiency of the approach, we apply our ideas to the chiral Schwinger model.

Proposal for Topologically Unquenched QCD
A proposal is presented for simulating an improvement on quenched QCD with dynamical fermions which interact with the gluon configuration only via the topological index of the latter. Strengths and shortcomings of the method are discussed and it is argued that the approximation – though being crude – shares some qualitative aspects of full QCD which relate to the issue of chiral symmetry breaking.
متن کاملLarge mass limit of the continuum theories in Kaplan's formulation.
Being inspired by Kaplan’s proposal for simulating chiral fermions on a lattice, we examine the continuum analog of his domain-wall construction for two-dimensional chiral Schwinger models. Adopting slightly unusual dimensional regularization, we explicitly evaluate the one-loop effective action in the limit that the domain-wall mass goes to infinity. For anomaly-free cases, the effective actio...
متن کاملRealizing chiral fermions in the type IIB matrix model at finite N
We discuss how chiral fermions can appear in the type IIB matrix model, which is considered to be a nonperturbative formulation of superstring theory. In particular, we are concerned with a constructive definition of the theory, in which we start with a finiteN configuration and take the large-N limit later on. We point out that there exists a certain necessary condition which the structure of ...
متن کامل1 Ju n 19 92 A Method for Simulating Chiral Fermions on the Lattice
I show that a lattice theory of massive interacting fermions in 2n + 1 dimensions may be used to simulate the behaviour of massless chiral fermions in 2n dimensions if the fermion mass has a step function shape in the extra dimension. The massless states arise as zeromodes bound to the mass defect, and all doublers can be given large gauge invariant masses. The manner in which the anomalies are...
متن کاملChiral gauge theories on the lattice and restoration of gauge symmetry
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 a dynamical restoration of the gauge invariance in the full quantum model. If the gauge symmetry breaking (SB) is not too severe, this procedure could lead i...
