Abstract
A new formulation of lattice gauge theory with fermionic degrees of freedom is presented and analyzed. Arguments are given which imply that, unlike all previous local prescriptions, the present one allows the implementation of chiral symmetry without leading to the doubling of fermion species. This permits the lattice regularization of theories with handed fermions.Keywords
