A proposal for chiral fermions on the lattice

A general procedure which allows to remove fermion doubling preserving gauge invariance in anomaly free chiral models on the lattice is discussed. When applied to the SLAG model it leads to a manifestly invariant perturbation theory and reproduces a correct continuum result in exactly solvable two-dimensional model.
