Calculations in a (3+1)-dimensional model indicate that Pauli-Villars regularization can be combined with discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) to solve at least some field theories nonperturbatively. Discrete momentum states of Pauli-Villars particles are included in the Fock basis to automatically generate needed counterterms; the resultant increase in basis size is found acceptable. The Lanczos algorithm is used to extract the lowest massive eigenstate and eigenvalue of the light-cone Hamiltonian, with basis sizes ranging up to 10.5 million. Each Fock-sector wave function is computed in this way, and from these one can obtain values for various quantities, such as average multiplicities and average momenta of constituents, structure functions, and a form-factor slope.

53 - J.R. Hiller 2000
The techniques of Pauli-Villars regularization and discrete light-cone quantization are combined to analyze Yukawa theory in a single-fermion truncation. A special form of the Lanczos algorithm is constructed for diagonalization of the indefinite-metric light-cone Hamiltonian.
The Pauli-Villars regularization scheme is often used for evaluating parton distributions within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model with inclusion of the vacuum polarization effects. Its simplest version with a single subtraction term should however be taken with some caution, since it does not fully get rid of divergences contained in scalar and psuedoscalar quark densities appearing in the soliton equation of motion. To remedy this shortcoming, we propose here its natural extention, i.e. the Pauli-Villars regularization scheme with multi-subtraction terms. We also carry out a comparative analysis of the Pauli-Villars regularization scheme and more popular proper-time one. It turns out that some isovector observables like the isovector magnetic moment of the nucleon is rather sensitive to the choice of the regularization scheme. In the process of tracing the origin of this sensitivity, a noticeable difference of the two regularization scheme is revealed.
The advantage of Pauli-Villars regularization in quantum field theory quantized on the light front is explained. Simple examples of scalar $lambdavarphi^4$ field theory and Yukawa-type model are used. We give also an example of nonperturbative calculation in the theory with Pauli-Villars fields, using for that a model of anharmonic oscillator modified by inclusion of ghost variables playing the role similar to Pauli-Villars fields.

The method of discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) and useful refinements are summarized. Applications to various field theories are reviewed.
We propose a way to recover Lorentz invariance of the perturbative S matrix in the Discrete Light-Cone Quantization (DLCQ) in the continuum limit without spoiling the trivial vacuum.
