Modes with zero longitudinal light-front momentum (zero modes) do have roles to play in the analysis of light-front field theories. These range from improvements in convergence for numerical calculations to implications for the light-front…
The spontaneous symmetry breaking in (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^{4}$ theory is studied with discretized light-front quantization, that is, by solving the zero-mode constraint equation. The symmetric ordering is assumed for the operator-valued…
We reproduce Chang's duality condition in a regularized $\phi^4_{1+1}$ theory quantized on a light front. The regularization involves higher derivatives in the Lagrangian, renders the model finite in the ultraviolet, and does not require…
We investigate (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^4$ field theory in the symmetric and broken phases using discrete light-front quantization. We calculate the perturbative solution of the zero-mode constraint equation for both the symmetric and broken…
We find that the zero mode($q^{+}=0$ mode of a continuum theory) contribution is crucial to obtain the correct values of the light-front current $J^{-}$ in the Drell-Yan($q^{+}=0$) frame. In the exactly solvable model of (1+1)-dimensional…
We discuss the vacuum structure of $\phi^4$-theory in 1+1 dimensions quantised on the light-front $x^+ =0$. To this end, one has to solve a non-linear, operator-valued constraint equation. It expresses that mode of the field operator having…
We show under suitable assumptions that zero-modes decouple from the dynamics of non-zero modes in the light-front formulation of some supersymmetric field theories. The implications for Lorentz invariance are discussed.
The dynamics of the phase transition of the continuum $\Phi ^{4}_{1+1}$-theory in Light Cone Quantization is reexamined taking into account fluctuations of the order parameter $< \Phi >$ in the form of dynamical zero mode operators (DZMO)…
We solve for the critical coupling in the symmetric phase of two-dimensional $\phi^4$ field theory using Discretized Light-Cone Quantization. We adopt periodic boundary conditions, neglect the zero mode, and obtain a critical coupling…

We discuss spontaneous symmetry breaking of (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory in light-front field theory using a Tamm-Dancoff truncation. We show that, even though light-front field theory has a simple vacuum state which is an eigenstate…
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in (1+1)-dimensional $\phi^{4}$ theory is studied with discretized light-front quantization. Taking effects of non-diagonal interactions into account, the first few terms of the commutation relations…
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized $\phi^{4}$ theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown to contain all the information to describe the phase…
We study spontaneous symmetry breaking in phi^4_(1+1) using the light-front formulation of the field theory. Since the physical vacuum is always the same as the perturbative vacuum in light-front field theory the fields must develop a…
Gaussian effective potential is obtained for $\phi^4_{1+1}$ quantized on a light front. It coincides with the one obtained previously within the equal time quantization. The computation of the paper substantiates the claim that light front…
We use the interpolating coordinates studied by Hornbostel to investigate a transition from equal-time quantization to light-front quantization, in the context of two-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory. A consistent treatment is found to require…
A genuine continuum treatment of the massive \phi^4_{1+1}-theory in light-cone quantization is proposed. Fields are treated as operator valued distributions thereby leading to a mathematically well defined handling of ultraviolet and light…
Light-front wave functions play a fundamental role in the light-front quantization approach to QCD and hadron structure. However, a naive implementation of the light-front quantization suffers from various subtleties including the…
We discuss various limits which transform configuration space into phase space, with emphasis on those related to lightfront field theory, and show that they are unified by spectral flow. Examples include quantising in `almost lightfront'…
We apply the quartic exponential variational approximation to the symmetry breaking phenomena of scalar field in three and four dimensions. We calculate effective potential and effective action for the time-dependent system by separating…
