Schwinger Model in the Light-Cone Representation

Abstract

I present a solution to the Schwinger model in the light-cone representation which corrects an error in a previous work. I emphasize the details of the mechanism by which the physical vacuum is different than the perturbative vacuum. I suggest that the method of analyzing vacuum structure presented here may be of use in more complicated theories such as QCD.
