Abstract

We report on recent progress with the gauge-fixing approach to lattice chiral gauge theories. The bosonic sector of the gauge-fixing approach is studied with fully dynamical U(1) gauge fields. We demonstrate that it is important to formulate the Lorentz gauge-fixing action such that the dense set of lattice Gribov copies is removed, and the gauge-fixing action has a unique absolute minimum. We then show that the spectrum in the continuum limit contains only the desired massless photon, as expected.
