Chirality on the Lattice

Abstract

During the last several years a non-perturbative formulation of exact chiral symmetry on the lattice has been developed. I shall outline the main ideas of these developments and discuss prospects for the future. The focus will be on the basic concepts enciphered in a new jargon consisting of terms like ``infinite number of fermions'', ``domain wall fermions'', ``the overlap'', ``the Ginsparg-Wilson relation''. Technical details will be omitted.
