A Lecture on Chiral Fermions

Abstract

This is an informal and approximate transcription of a talk presented at the DESY workshop, September 27--29, 1995. The basic message is that real and long overdue progress is taking place on the problem of regulating non--perturbatively chiral gauge theories. Several approaches are reviewed with emphasis on the overlap and some of the questions raised about it. No claim for completeness or objectivity is made.
