Abstract

A genuine continuum treatment of the massive phi(1+1)(4) theory in light-cone quantization is proposed. Fields are treated as operator-valued distributions, thereby leading to a mathematically well-defined handling of ultraviolet-and light-cone-induced infrared divergences and of their renormalization. Although nonperturbative, the continuum light-cone approach is no more complex than usual perturbation theory in lowest order. Relative to discretized light-cone quantization, the critical coupling increases by 30% to a value r=1.5. Conventional perturbation theory at the corresponding order yields r(1) = 1, whereas the RG-improved fourth-order result is r(4) = 1.8 +/- 0.05.
