Abstract

Techniques for the field-theoretic calculation of a form factor are described and applied to a dressed-fermion state of a (3+1)-dimensional model Hamiltonian. Discrete light-cone quantization plays the crucial role as the means by which Fock-state wave functions are computed. An ultraviolet infinity is controlled by Pauli-Villars regularization.
