Starting from the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, a general construction of chiral gauge theories on the lattice is described. Local and global anomalies are easily discussed in this framework and a closed expression for the effective action can be obtained. Particular attention is paid to the non-abelian gauge anomaly, which is shown to be related to a local topological field on the lattice representing the Chern character in 4+2 dimensions.

    In the 2D modified Villain model, bosonized chiral lattice fermion operators yield a doubler-free but non-local reconstructed Dirac operator, consistent with Nielsen-Ninomiya, while the microscopic theory remains ultr...

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    The 2D modified Villain model's Weyl operators reproduce free Dirac correlations in the continuum, and their no-doubler Dirac kernel is non-local, showing exactly how bosonization evades the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem.
