We develop a method by which vacuum transitions may be included in light-front calculations. This allows tadpole contributions which are important for symmetry-breaking effects and yet are missing from standard light-front calculations. These transitions also dictate a nontrivial vacuum and contributions from vacuum bubbles to physical states. In nonperturbative calculations these separate classes of contributions (tadpoles and bubbles) cannot be filtered; instead, we regulate the bubbles and…

This procedure provides a simple treatment for massless fields and nontrivial tests of Lorentz invariance, and may be applied to models, such as that of Gross and Neveu, for which conventional light-cone quantization is difficult to implement.

We consider the constrained zero modes found in the application of discrete light-cone quantization to the nonperturbative solution of quantum field theories. These modes are usually neglected for

As an extension of recent work on two-dimensional light-front φ 4 theory, we implement Fock-sector dependence for the bare mass. Such dependence should have important consequences for the convergence

The value of the vacuum expectation value as a function of the coupling constant in the broken phase is calculated both numerically and analytically using the delta expansion and it is shown that the energy levels of the system have the expected behavior within thebroken phase.

The problem of spontaneous symmetry breaking in scalar field theories quantized on the light cone is considered and the consistency of the formalism is checked in an explicit perturbative calculation in (1+1)-dimensional ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}^{4}$ theory.

We defend the Fock-space Hamiltonian truncation method, which allows us to calculate numerically the spectrum of strongly coupled quantum field theories, by putting them in a finite volume and
