On the construction of corrected Light-Front Hamiltonian for QED_2

Abstract

The counterterms, which must be included into Light-Front Hamiltonian of $QED_2$ to get the equivalence with conventional Lorentz-covariant formulation, are found. This is done to all orders of perturbation theory in fermion mass, using the bosonization at intermediate steps and comparing Light-Front and Lorentz-covariant perturbation theories for bosonized model. The obtained Light-Front Hamiltonian contains all terms, present in the $QED_2$ theory, canonically (naively) quantized on the Light-Front (in the Light-Front gauge) and an unusual counterterm. This counterterm is proportional to linear combination of fermion zero modes (which are multiplied by some operator factors neutralizing their charge and fermionic number). The coefficients before these zero mode operators are UV finite and depend on condensate parameter in the $\theta$-vacuum. These coefficients are proportional to fermion mass, when this mass goes to zero.
