Abstract

The Siegel action describing the chiral bosons in one-space one-time dimension is considered on the light-front. The front-form theory is seen to possess a set of three first-class constraints and consequently a local vector gauge symmetry. The front-form Hamiltonian, path integral and BRST formulations of this front-form theory are investigated under some specific gauge choices.
