Gap Equations from Fermionic Constraints on the Light-Front

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We investigate how the gap equations are obtained in the light-front formalism within the four-Fermi theories. Instead of the zero-mode constraint, we find that the "fermionic constraints" on nondynamical spinor components are responsible for symmetry breaking. Careful treatment of the infrared divergence is indispensable for obtaining the gap equation.
