Vacuum loops in light-front field theory

We demonstrate that vacuum diagrams in the genuine light front (LF) field theory are non-zero, in spite of simple kinematical counter-arguments (positivity and conservation of the LF momentum p+, absence of Fourier zero mode). Using the light-front Hamiltonian (time-ordered) perturbation theory, the...
