Light hadron phenomenology with overlap fermions and an improved gauge action

In this thesis we study light hadron phenomenology using lattice QCD. In particular we measure hadron masses, meson decay constants, and nucleon structure functions. We perform the lattice simulation using overlap fermions. This formulation preserves chiral symmetry at finite lattice spacing and so...
