  The pseudoscalar projection of the pion's Poincare'-covariant Bethe-Salpeter
amplitude onto the light-front may be understood to provide the probability
distribution of the chiral condensate within the pion. Unlike the parton
distribution amplitudes usually considered and as befitting a collective
effect, this condensate distribution receives contributions from all Fock space
components of the pion's light-front wave-function. We compute this condensate
distribution using the Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) framework and show the
result to be a model-independent feature of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Our
analysis establishes that this condensate is concentrated in the neighbourhood
of the boundaries of the distribution's domain of support. It thereby confirms
the dominant role played by many-particle Fock states within the pion's
light-front wave function in generating the chiral condensate on the
light-front and verifies that light-front longitudinal zero modes do not play a
material role in that process.
