Subtleties in the Light-Cone Representation

Abstract

To produce an isomorphism between the light-cone and equal-time representations some additional formalism beyond that originally proposed for the light-cone representation may sometimes be required. The additional formalism usually involves zero modes and is most likely to affect delicate, high energy aspects of the solution such as condensates. In this talk I will review some of the information which has been obtained in the past few years on these issues with particular emphasis on the Schwinger model as an example.
