Lattice Chiral Gauge Theories

Abstract

I review the substantial progress which has been made recently with the non-perturbative construction of chiral gauge theories on the lattice. In particular, I discuss three different approaches: a gauge invariant method using fermions which satisfy the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, and two gauge non-invariant methods, one using different cutoffs for the fermions and the gauge fields, and one using gauge fixing. Open problems within all three approaches are addressed.
