Within a scheme of light front quantization of $\phi^4_{1+1}$, it is demonstrated that dynamics of zero modes implies phase transition, and that the critical value of the coupling coincides with the one of the equal time quantization.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking of the light-front Gross-Neveu model is studied in the framework of the discretized light-cone quantization. Introducing a scalar auxiliary field and adding its kinetic term, we obtain a constraint on the…
We consider the 1+1 dimensional supersymmetric matrix field theory obtained from a dimensional reduction of ten dimensional ${\cal N} = 1$ super Yang-Mills, which is a matrix model candidate for non-perturbative Type IIA string theory. The…
We discuss the light-cone quantization of gauge theories as a calculational tool for representing hadrons as QCD bound-states of relativistic quarks and gluons, and also as a novel method for simulating quantum field theory on a computer.…

With the current state of similarity renormalisation group approach to light-front QCD, it is possible to address with a degree of generality the issue of light-cone zero modes. We find, contrary to earlier results in a less general…

It is introduced the gauge invariant regularization of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), adjusted to modeling nonperturbative vacuum effects in QCD on the light front (LF) via modeling the dynamics of zero Fourier modes of fields on the LF.
We study the impact of the zero-mode of a quantum field on the evolution of a particle detector. For a massless scalar field in a periodic cavity, we show that the impact of the zero mode on the Unruh-DeWitt detector and its…
Loop calculations in light-cone gauge must confront many technical complexities. We offer here a compendium of detailed light-cone calculations in Yang-Mills theories (with no matter fields). We consistently regulate the p^+=0 singularities…
Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the DLCQ method is investigated in detail using a chiral Yukawa model closely related to the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By classically solving three constraints characteristic of the light-front…
We study a (1+1)-dimensional $\lambda\phi^4$ model with a light-cone zero mode and constant external source to describe spontaneous symmetry breaking. In the broken phase, we find degenerate vacua and discuss their stability based on…
In the first part of this lecture I will give an introduction to light-cone field theory, focussing on the ``zero mode problem''. In the second part I discuss $\phi^4$-theory in 1+1 dimensions. I will show how the dynamics of the zero modes…
It has been recently found that for the near extremal Kerr black holes appearing of Zero Damped Modes (accompanied by qusinormal mode branching) signifies about inapplicability of the regime of small perturbations and the onset of…
Using stochastic quantization method we derive gauge-invariant equations, connecting multilocal vacuum correlators of nonperturbative field configurations immersed into the quantum background. Three alternative methods of stochastic…
We study a class of nonlocal, but causal, covariant and conserved field equations for the metric. Although nonlocal, these equations do not seem to possess extra graviton solutions in weak field perturbation theory. Indeed, the equations…
Evidence from lattice QCD calculations is presented showing that instantons and their associated zero modes play a major role in the physics of light hadrons and the propagation of light quarks in the QCD vacuum.
Light-cone quantization of gauge field theory is considered. With a careful treatment of the relevant degrees of freedom and where they must be initialized, the results obtained in equal-time quantization are recovered, in particular the…
