End-point singularities of Feynman graphs on the light cone

Description

We show that some Lorentz components of the Feynman integrals calculated in terms of the light-cone variables may contain end-point singularities which originate from the contribution of the big-circle integral in the complex k--plane. These singularities appear in various types of diagrams (two-point functions, three-point functions, etc.) and provide the covariance of the Feynman integrals on the light cone. We propose a procedure for calculating Feynman integrals which guarantees that the end-point singularities do not appear in the light-cone representations of the invariant amplitudes
