Description

The $SU(3)\otimes SU(2) \otimes U(1)$ standard model maps smoothly
onto a conventional lattice gauge formulation, including the
parity violation of the weak interactions. The formulation makes
use of the pseudo-reality of the weak group and requires the
inclusion a full generation of both leptons and quarks. As in
continuum discussions, chiral eigenstates of the Dirac operator
generate known anomalies, although with rough gauge configurations
these are no longer exact zero modes of the Dirac operator.
