Abstract
The relativistic wave function of He nucleus is calculated in the framework of Light-Front Dynamics. It is determined by 32 spin-isospin components, each of which depends on five scalar variables. For NN interaction, the one-boson exchange model is assumed, but without a potential approximation. The relativistic effects manifest themselves in deviation of the relativistic components from the non-relativistic input, in the appearance of the components absent in the non-relativistic limit, and in dependence of solutions on specific variables that don't exist in the non-relativistic wave function.
