Zero-mode contribution to the light-front Hamiltonian of Yukawa type models
Light-front Hamiltonian for Yukawa type models is determined without the
framework of canonical light-front formalism. Special attention is given to the
contribution of zero modes.Comment: 14 pages, Latex, revised version with minor changes, Submitted to

Gauge Invariant Regularization of Quantum Field Theory on the Light-Front
Gauge invariant regularization of quantum field theory in the framework of
Light-Front (LF) Hamiltonian formalism via introducing a lattice in transverse
coordinates and imposing boundary conditions in LF coordinate for gauge
fields on the interval is considered. The remaining ultraviolet
divergences in the longitudinal momentum are removed by gauge invariant
finite mode regularization. We find that LF canonical formalism for the
introduced regularization does not contain usual most complicated second class
constraints connecting zero and nonzero modes of gauge fields. The described
scheme can be used either for the regularization of conventional gauge theory
or for gauge invariant formulation of effective low-energy models on the LF.
The lack of explicit Lorentz invariance in our approach leads to difficulty
with defining the vacuum state. We discuss this difficulty, particulary, in the
connection with the problem of taking the limit of continuous space.Comment: LaTeX 2.09, 15 pages, Proceedings of "12th V.Fock School of Physics",
