Description

The bosonization of lattice fermions using Jordan-Wigner transformations is discussed. Dynamical fermion fields appear in the resulting formalism as Potts-like spin degrees of freedom. Various methods of simulating such theories are discussed. When applied to QCD, preliminary indications are that the expected chiral breaking is found in the chiral limit. (orig.)
