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…
Phase Transition in Scalar Theory Quantized on the Light-Front
Prem P. Srivastava
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown…
Light-Front Quantization and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
Prem P. Srivastava
The spontaneous symmetry breaking (and Higgs) mechanism in the theory quantized on the light-front ({\it l.f.}), in the {\it discretized formulation}, is discussed. The infinite vo…
