5th week (Formal developments and other frontiers in lattice QCD) Seminar (5th week)

Speaker

Prof. David Kaplan (University of Washington)

Description

A fermion representation with exact chiral symmetry can be obtained on a 5-dimensional lattice with a single boundary, circumventing the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem. I discuss this as well as a proposal for gauging the theory, and objections that have been raised.
