Matrix Models: Fermion Doubling vs. Anomaly

Abstract

We present some arguments showing spectrum doubling of matrix models in the limit $N\to \infty$ which is connected with fermionic determinant behaviour. The problems are similar to ones encountered in the lattice gauge theories with chiral fermions. One may discuss the ``physical meaning'' of the doubling states or ways to eliminate them. We briefly consider both situations.
