Two Dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics on a Cylinder

Abstract

We study two dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics with massive quarks on a cylinder in a light--cone formalism. We eliminate the non--dynamical degrees of freedom and express the theory in terms of the quark and Wilson loop variables. It is possible to perform this reduction without gauge fixing. The fermionic Fock space can be defined independent of the gauge field in this light--cone formalism.
