The standard model and parity conservation

Abstract

On the basis of previous work on chiral gauged fermions on a lattice, we discuss the lattice-regularization of the standard model by introducing two Weyl fields interacting with quarks and leptons. These interactions form massive bound states to gauge-invariantly decouple doublers at high energies and these bound states dissolve into their constituents at low energies. No any hard spontaneous symmetry breakings occur at the lattice scale \pi/a. As a consequence, the gauge symmetries of the standard model are realized by both massive vectorlike spectra at high energies and massless chiral spectra at low energies. Such a scenario is consistent with the gauge-anomaly cancelation, flavor-singlet anomaly and Witten's anomaly. These studies predict that the parity symmetry must be restored at high energies.
