  We consider the fermion spectrum in the strong coupling vortex phase of a
lattice fermion-scalar model with a global $U(1)_L\times U(1)_R$, in 2D, in the
context of a recently proposed two-cutoff lattice formulation. The fermion
doublers are made massive by a strong Wilson-Yukawa coupling, but in contrast
with the standard formulation of these models, in which the light fermion
spectrum was found to be massive and vectorlike, we find massless undoubled
fermions with chiral quantum numbers at finite lattice spacing. When the global
symmetry is gauged, this model is expected to give rise to a chiral gauge
theory.
