U(1) chiral gauge theory on lattice with gauge-fixed domain wall fermions

We investigate a U(1) lattice chiral gauge theory (L chi GT) with domain wall fermions and gauge fixing. In the reduced model limit, our perturbative and numerical investigations at Yukawa coupling y = 1 show that there are no extra mirror chiral modes. The longitudinal gauge degrees of freedom have no effect on the free domain wall fermion spectrum consisting of opposite chiral modes at the domain wall and the anti-domain wall which have an exponentially damped overlap. Our numerical investigation at small Yukawa couplings (y << 1) also leads to similar conclusions as above.
