The Gross-Neveu model on the light cone

Abstract

We consider the (massive) Gross-Neveu model using the light cone quantization where we solve the constraints explicitly. We show that the vacuum is trivial and that the quantization fails when $m=0$. We discuss how the running coupling constant emerges as a pure normal ordering effect in this context and the bound state equation.
