The Mandelstam-Leibbrandt Prescription in Light-Cone Quantized Gauge Theories

Abstract

Quantization of gauge theories on characteristic surfaces and in the light-cone gauge is discussed. Implementation of the Mandelstam-Leibbrandt prescription for the spurious singularity is shown to require two distinct null planes, with independent degrees of freedom initialized on each. The relation of this theory to the usual light-cone formulation of gauge field theory, using a single null plane, is described. A connection is established between this formalism and a recently given operator solution to the Schwinger model in the light-cone gauge.

Revtex, 14 pages. One postscript figure (requires psfig). A brief discussion of necessary restrictions on the light-cone current operators has been added, and two references. Final version to appear in Z. Phys. C
