Phase Transition in Scalar Theory Quantized on the Light-front
نویسنده
چکیده
The renormalization of the two dimensional light-front quantized φ theory is discussed. The mass renormalization condition and the renormalized constraint equation are shown to contain all the information to describe the phase transition in the theory, which is found to be of the second order. We argue that the same result would also be obtained in the conventional equal-time formulation.

Some basic topics in Light-Front (LF) quantized field theory are reviewed. Poincarè algebra and the LF Spin operator are discussed. The local scalar field theory of the conventional framework is shown to correspond to a nonlocal Hamiltonian theory on the LF in view of the constraint equations on the phase space, which relate the bosonic condensates to the non-zero modes. This new ingredient is ...

The scalar field is quantized in the discretized light-front framework following the standard Dirac procedure and its infinite volume limit taken. The background field and the nonzero mode variables do not commute for finite volume; they do so only in the continuum limit. A non-local constraint in the theory relating the two is shown to follow and we must deal with it along with the Hamiltonian...

We study the phenomenon of Unruh effect in a massless scalar field theory quantized on the light-front in the general light-front frame. We determine the uniformly accelerating coordinates in such a frame and through a direct transformation show that the propagator of the theory has a thermal character in the uniformly accelerating coordinate system with a temperature given by Tolman’s law. We ...
متن کاملFinite temperature correlation function of two dissipative massive scalar fields: Thermofield approach
The present paper aims at investigating the manner of two dissipative massive scalar fields. Two massive scalar fields that interact with a reservoir were considered and a reservoir was modeled by continuum Klein-Gordon fields. The Lagrangian of the total system was canonically quantized and the dynamics of the system was determined using the Euler-Lagrange equation. Then, the explicit form of the...

We give a simple derivation of the Higgs phenomenon in an abelian light front gauge theory. It is based on a finite-volume quantization with antiperiodic scalar fields and periodic gauge field. An infinite set of degenerate vacua in the form of coherent states of the scalar field, that minimize the light front energy, is constructed. The corresponding effective Hamiltonian describes a massive v...
