Induced operators in QCD

Light-cone quantization always involves the solution of differential constraint equations. The solutions to these equations include integration constants (fields independent ofx). These fields are unphysical but when they are consistently removed from the dynamics, additional operators (induced operators), which would not be present if the integration constants were simply set to zero, are included in the dynamics. These induced operators can be taken to act in the usual light-cone subspace, for instance, the space used for DLCQ. Here, I shall give a derivation of two such operators. The operators are derived starting from the QCD Lagrangian but the derivation involves some guesses. The operators will provide for the linear growth of the pion mass squared with the quark bare mass and for the splitting of the π and the ρ at zero quark mass. (author)
