Contribution
It provides a corrected approach to solving the Schwinger model in light-cone coordinates and discusses vacuum structure analysis relevant to more complex quantum field theories.
Findings
Corrected solution to the Schwinger model in light-cone representation
Detailed mechanism explaining the difference between physical and perturbative vacua
Potential applicability of the method to QCD and other complex theories
Abstract
I present a solution to the Schwinger model in the light-cone representation which corrects an error in a previous work. I emphasize the details of the mechanism by which the physical vacuum is different than the perturbative vacuum. I suggest that the method of analyzing vacuum structure presented here may be of use in more complicated theories such as QCD.
