Abstract
I consider QCD in the limit at fixed . The derivation starts from equal-time bound states in coordinate space and temporal () gauge, avoiding the use of quark and gluon propagators. The wave function is given analytically by a function with an explicit frame dependence. In the infinite momentum frame the Fourier transformed wave function satisfies the 't~Hooft equation, however with contributions also from quarks with negative kinetic energy. Such contributions are present also in the rest frame, and do not vanish under boosts.
