Abstract
We discuss how to construct theta vacua in the light-front field theories using the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model as an example. Unlike the non-gauged scalar field, zero modes of the Higgs field are in general dynamical as well as the gauge-field zero mode. While symmetry breaking is discussed in semi-classical treatment of the zero modes, the theta vacua are introduced in the quantum level by use of the large gauge symmetry.
