In particle physics, lattice QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics) has been established as a powerful framework for studying strong interactions from first principles. However, the lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories, which are essential components of the Standard Model, has remained unsolved for nearly 40 years due to the Nielsen-Ninomiya theorem, making it one of the most important challenges in modern theoretical physics.
My research focuses on Symmetric Mass Generation (SMG) as a promising non-perturbative approach to address this problem. SMG is a mechanism that dynamically generates mass terms while preserving symmetries, and it is also fundamentally interesting as a non-perturbative phenomenon in quantum field theory.
Furthermore, a detailed understanding of symmetry structures and 't Hooft anomalies in lattice theories is essential for extracting low-energy theoretical information. This is particularly crucial for realizing SMG, as anomalies must cancel in such scenarios. Through these theoretical frameworks, I aim to provide new perspectives on the lattice formulation of chiral gauge theories.
