We investigate chiral properties of the overlap lattice fermion by using so
lvable model in two dimensions, the gauged Gross-Neveu model. In this model
, the chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in the presence of small but
finite fermion mass. We calculate the quasi-Nambu-Goldstone(NG) boson mass
as a function of the bare fermion mass and two parameters in the overlap fo
rmula. We find that the quasi-NC boson mass has desired properties as a res
ult of the extended chiral symmetry found by Luscher. We also show the PCAC
relation is satisfied in desired form. Comparison between the overlap and
Wilson lattice fermions is also made.
