The Light-Cone Effective Potential
Abstract
It is shown how to calculate simple vacuum diagrams in light-cone quantum field theory. As an application, I consider the one-loop effective potential of phi4 theory. The standard result is recovered both with and without the inclusion of zero modes having longitudinal momentum k+ = 0.
