Abstract
We examine the proposal by Grabowska and Kaplan (GK) to use the infinite gradient flow in the domain-wall formulation of chiral lattice gauge theories. We consider the case of Abelian theories in detail, for which Lüscher’s exact gauge-invariant formulation is known, and we relate GK’s formulation to Lüscher’s one. The gradient flow can be formulated for the admissible U(1) link fields so that it preserves their topological charges. GK’s effective action turns out to be equal to the sum of Lüscher’s gauge-invariant effective actions for the target Weyl fermions and the mirror “fluffy” fermions, plus the so-called measure-term integrated along the infinite gradient flow. The measure-term current is originally a local(analytic) and gauge-invariant functional of the admissible link field, given as a solution to the local cohomology problem. However, with the infinite gradient flow, it gives rise to non-local(non-analytic) vertex functions which are not suppressed exponentially at large distance. The “fluffy” fermions remain as a source of non-local contribution, which couple yet to the Wilson-line and magnetic-flux degrees of freedom of the dynamical link field.
