Chiral Boson Theory on the Light-Front
Prem P. Srivastava
The {\it front form} framework for describing the quantized theory of chiral boson is discussed. It avoids the conflict with the requirement of the principle of microcausality as i…
Perspectives of Light-Front Quantized Field Theory: Some New Results
Prem P. Srivastava
Some basic topics in the light-front (LF) quantization of relativistic field theory are reviewed. It is argued that the LF quantization is equally appropriate as the conventional o…
Theta-Vacua in the Light-Front Quantized Schwinger Model
Prem P. Srivastava
The light-front (LF) quantization of the bosonized Schwinger model is discussed in the "continuum formulation". The proposal, successfully used earlier for describing the spontaneo…
Light-Front Quantization of Field Theory
Prem P. Srivastava
Some basic topics in Light-Front (LF) quantized field theory are reviewed. Poincarè algebra and the LF Spin operator are discussed. The local scalar field theory of the conventiona…
Light-front Quantized Scalar Field Theory and Phase Transition
Prem P. Srivastava
The light-front Hamiltonian formulation for the scalar field theory contains a new ingredient in the form of a constraint equation. Renormalization of the two dimensional t…
Light-Front Dynamics of Chern-Simons Systems
Prem P. Srivastava
Chern-Simons theory coupled to complex scalars is quantized on the light- front in the local light-cone gauge by constructing the self-consistent hamiltonian theory. It is shown th…
