Chirality is defined through the ±1 eigenvalue under action of γ^5 on ψ, a Dirac field thus projected into its left- or right-handed component by the projection operators (1−γ^5)/2 or (1+γ^5)/2 on ψ. For massless particles (only!) chirality coincides with [helicity], a notion which is frame-dependent, and hence ambiguous for massive particles. Avoid using the [helicity] tag instead: the projectors *must* be implied.

Mirrored decoupling fermion doublers and a lattice chiral fermion / gauge theory

Nielsen Ninomiya Fermion-doubling problem has known to be a challenge to construct a chiral fermion or chiral gauge theory on the lattice. There is a proposed resolution to use so-called two mirrored …

Complex Representation of a gauge group and a Chiral Gauge Theory

In this John Preskill et al paper, a statement is made in page 1: We will refer to a gauge theory with fermions transforming as a complex representation of the gauge group as a chiral gauge theory, b …
