Abstract

The wave function in relativity is defined, in four-dimensional space, on a space-like three-dimensional plane. The plane, most close to the time-like region, is the light-front plane ct+z=0ct+z=0. Corresponding dynamical approach - the light-front dynamics - has considerable advantages. We describe, in a field-theoretical framework, the construction of light-front dynamics and illustrate it by some examples.
