Noncovariance of field theories quantized on the light cone which are not scale invariant

Noncovariance of field theories quantized on the light cone which are not scale invariant It is shown from spectral representations involving the energy-momentum tensor that in general a field theory quantized on the light cone (as opposed to the case in which an equal-time-quantized theory is merely rewritten in terms of light-cone coordinates) does not possess a Lorentz-invariant vacuum state. The sole exception to this result occurs in cases for which one has scale invariance. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Physical Review D American Physical Society (APS)

Abstract

It is shown from spectral representations involving the energy-momentum tensor that in general a field theory quantized on the light cone (as opposed to the case in which an equal-time-quantized theory is merely rewritten in terms of light-cone coordinates) does not possess a Lorentz-invariant vacuum state. The sole exception to this result occurs in cases for which one has scale invariance.
