Solving Gauge Field Theory by Discretized Light-Cone Quantization

The canonical front form Hamiltonian for non-Abelian SU(N) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions is mapped on an effective Hamiltonian which acts only in the Fock space of one quark and one antiquark. The approach is non-perturbative and exact. It is based on Discretized Light-Cone Quantization and the Method of Iterated Resolvents. The method resums the diagrams of perturbation theory to all orders in the coupling constant and is free of Tamm-Dancoff truncations in the Fock-space. Emphasis is put on dealing accurately with the many-body aspects of gauge field theory. Pending future renormalization group analysis the running coupling is derived to all orders in the bare coupling constant.~--- The derived effective interaction has an amazingly simple structure and is gauge invariant and frame independent. It is solvable on a small computer like a work station. The many-body amplitudes can be retrieved self-consistently from these solutions, by quadratures without solving another eigenvalue problem. The structures found allow also for developing simple phenomenological models consistent with non-Abelian gauge field theory.
