Almost Gauge Invariant Lattice Actions for Chiral Gauge Theories, using Laplacian Gauge Fixing

AbstractIt is described how to obtain an almost gauge invariant lattice action $S$ for chiral gauge theories, or other models in which a straightforward discretization leads to a lattice action $S^pr$ in which gauge invariance is broken. The lattice action is `almost’ gauge invariant, because a local gauge transformation leaves the action the same, up to a global gauge transformation. In this approach the action $S$ for all gauge fields on a gauge orbit is the same as that of the action $S^pr$ evaluated for the gauge field fixed to a smooth gauge. To define $S$ unambiguously, it must be possible to compute the gauge fixed field unambiguously. This rules out gauge conditions which suffer from Gribov ambiguities but it can be achieved by using the recently proposed Laplacian gauge. When using the almost gauge invariant action $S$ in a numerical simulation, it is not necessary to fix the gauge, and hence gauge fixing terms and Fadeev-Popov ghosts are not required. A hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm for simulations with this new action is described and tested on a simple toy model.
