Gauge field flow for chiral gauge theories on a disk boundary
Abstract: A recent non-perturbative formulation of $2n$ dimensional chiral gauge theories relies on realizing chiral fermions on the $2n$ dimensional boundary of a $2n+1$ dimensional disk manifold. It also requires extending boundary gauge configurations into the interior of the disk using some flow prescription that preserves 2n dimensional gauge invariance. In this paper we propose a concrete realization of the equation of motion flow with the disk embedded on a square lattice. In addition, we couple the flow gauge field to fermions and demonstrate the mechanism of anomaly inflow and anmaly cancellation at work on the lattice.
