Comparing light-front quantization with instant-time quantization

In this paper we compare light-front quantization and instant-time both at the level of operators their Feynman diagram matrix elements. At lead to equal time commutation (or anticommutation) relations that appear be quite different from relations. Despite show unequal times actually can transformed into each other, with it only being restriction makes so different. While our results are valid for bosons fermions, fermions there subtleties associated tip light cone contributions need taken care of. diagrams non-vacuum pole terms in four-dimensional reproduce widely used three-dimensional on-shell Hamiltonian Fock space formulation which energy momentum on shell. Moreover, equal. However, because circle infinity equivalence fails vacuum tadpole diagrams. Then, precisely these contributions, not nonzero, they remarkably pure term Light-front correctly describable by formalism, thus closely related infinite frame prescription either. Thus sector must use off-shell formalism as contains information is accessible approach. We intrinsically nonlocal, nonlocality present Ward identities. One project fermion spinors so-called good bad components, components contribute Central analysis transformation coordinates fields a unitary, spacetime-dependent translation. Consequently, equivalent, general coordinate invariance unitarily equivalent.
