Gauge Freedom in Chiral Gauge Theory with Vacuum Overlap

Abstract

Dynamical nature of the gauge degrees of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied at $\beta =\infty$ for two- and four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theories in the vacuum overlap formalism. It is argued that the disordered gauge degrees of freedom does not contradict to the chiral spectrum of lattice fermion.
