Abstract
The lattice approximation of gauge fields is based on their geometric interpretation. In a similar way, a differential geometric generalization of the Dirac equation due to E. Kähler1 seems to be an appropriate starting point for the lattice approximation of matter fields2,3. It is the purpose of this lecture to illustrate several aspects of this approach.
