The effective action induced by chiral fermions can be written, formally, as an overlap of two states. These states are the Fock ground states of Hamiltonians for fermions in even dimensional space with opposite sign mass terms coupled to identical static vector potentials. A perturbative analysis of the overlap in the continuum framework produces the correct anomaly for Abelian gauge fields in two dimensions. When a lattice transfer matrix formalism is applied in the direction perpendicular to a domain wall on which chiral fermions live a lattice version of the overlap is obtained. The real part of the overlap is nonperturbatively defined and previous work indicates that the real part of the vacuum polarization tensor in four dimensions has the correct continuum limit for a chiral theory. The phase of the overlap represents the imaginary part of the chiral action and suffers from ambiguities.

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

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

An inquiry on the Absence of Fermion Doubling and why the Nielsen-Ninomiya Theorem Does Not Apply to Nonlocal Quantum Field Theory
A continuum nonlocal Dirac operator multiplied by an invertible zero-free entire function has exactly the same kernel and finite-momentum zero set as the ordinary Dirac operator, so fermion doubling is absent.
