Abstract
Vector Schwinger model with a mass term for the photon, describing 2D electrodynamics with mass-less fermions, studied by us recently (UK, Mod. Phys. Lett A22, 2993 (2007), PoS LC2008, 008 (2008), UK and DSK, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A22, 6183 (2007), UK, Mod. Phys. Lett A27, 1250157 (2012)), represents a new class of models. This theory becomes gauge-invariant when studied on the light-front. This is in contrast to the instant-form theory which is gauge-non-invariant. The light-front Hamiltonian and path integral quantization of this theory has been studied recently by one of us (UK, Mod. Phys. Lett. A27 (No. 27) 1250157 (2012)). In the present work we study the light-front Becchi-Rouet-Stora and Tyutin (BRST) quantization of this theory under appropriate light-cone BRST gauge-fixing. Here the BRST (gauge) symmetry of the theory is maintained even under BRST-gauge-fixing which is in contrast to its Hamiltonian and path integral quantization where the gauge symmetry of the theory necessarily gets broken under gauge-fixing.
