Nonperturbative Renormalization in Light-Cone Quantization

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Two approaches to nonperturbative renormalization are discussed for theories quantized on the light cone. One is tailored specifically to a calculation of the dressed-electron state in quantum electrodynamics, where an invariant-mass cutoff is used as a regulator and a Tamm-Dancoff truncation is made to include no more than two photons. The other approach is based on Pauli-Villars regulators and is applied to Yukawa theory and a related soluble model. In both cases discretized light-cone quantization is used to obtain a finite matrix problem that can be solved nonperturbatively.
