Anomalies and phases of strongly coupled chiral gauge theories: Recent developments

S Bolognesi, K Konishi, A Luzio - International Journal of Modern …, 2022 - World Scientific
After many years of investigations, our understanding of the dynamics of strongly coupled
chiral gauge theories is still quite unsatisfactory today. Conventional wisdom about strongly …
