It is shown that U(1) chiral gauge theories with anomaly-free multiplets of Weyl fermions can be put on the lattice without breaking the gauge invariance or violating any other fundamental principle. The Ginsparg-Wilson relation plays a key role in this construction, which is non-perturbative and includes all topological sectors of the theory in finite volume. In particular, the cancellation of the gauge anomaly and the absence of global topological obstructions can be established on the basis of this relation and the lattice symmetries alone.

  1. Exactly Solvable 1+1d Chiral Lattice Gauge Theories

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Anomaly-free chiral U(1) gauge theories in 1+1 dimensions can be written as quadratic, exactly solvable lattice Hamiltonians, with the 34-50 model as an explicit example.

  2. Ginsparg-Wilson Hamiltonians with Improved Chiral Symmetry

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A tunable family of Ginsparg-Wilson Hamiltonians is constructed in which the chiral charge becomes progressively more quantized as k increases, though locality degrades.

  3. Bosonization versus the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    The 2D modified Villain model's Weyl operators reproduce free Dirac correlations in the continuum, and their no-doubler Dirac kernel is non-local, showing exactly how bosonization evades the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem.

  4. Lattice chiral non-Abelian gauge symmetry via bosonization

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposes a bosonized lattice construction of anomaly-free 2D non-Abelian chiral gauge theories in which left and right bulk contributions cancel at finite spacing when quadratic indices match.

  5. Gauge field flow for chiral gauge theories on a slab

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Implements gradient flow and EOM flow for gauge fields in n=1 domain wall fermion slab geometry on the lattice, demonstrating current conservation and anomaly inflow with background fields.

  6. N=1 Supersymmetric QCD on the lattice using overlap fermions

    hep-lat 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A chirally symmetric overlap lattice action for N=1 SQCD is constructed by introducing auxiliary fermion fields that are integrated out, yielding new ultralocal interaction terms.

  7. Unpaired Weyl fermion on an axion string in a finite lattice

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A modified crossed-domain-wall axion string on an N=28 periodic lattice produces an unpaired, single-chirality Weyl fermion branch, extending the Kaplan-Sen disk construction to string defects.

  8. Gauge field flow for chiral gauge theories on a disk boundary

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Proposes equation-of-motion flow on square lattice for extending boundary gauge fields into disk interior in 2n-dimensional chiral gauge theories and demonstrates anomaly inflow and cancellation on the lattice.

  9. Domain wall fermions

    hep-lat 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Domain wall fermions recover exact chiral symmetry in the infinite fifth dimension limit and produce an effective four-dimensional operator satisfying the Ginsparg-Wilson relation.
