Abstract
We calculate effective potentials in scalar field theories on the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave background in ten dimensions. For this purpose we have to work in the light-cone formulation, and hence we introduce two methods to compute them in the light-cone frame. One is to use the Yan's formula for evaluating one-loop correction terms. The other is to introduce a cut-off for the light-cone momentum. These methods are also confirmed in the case of Minkowski spacetime.
