We find a correspondence between semiclassical QCD quantized on the light-front and a dual gravity model in anti--de Sitter (AdS) space, thus providing an initial approximation to QCD in its strongly coupled regime. This correspondence --…

In the light front quantisation scheme initial conditions are usually provided on a single lightlike hyperplane. This, however, is insufficient to yield a unique solution of the field equations. We investigate under which additional…

The bound state of constituent quarks forming a $Qqq$ composite baryon is investigated in a QCD-inspired effective light-front model. The light-front Faddeev equations are derived and solved numerically. The masses of the spin 1/2 low-lying…

We consider the eigenstate problem for a Hamiltonian operator of the field theory. Methods of construction the effective field theoretical Hamiltonians for which the eigenstate problem may be solved are discussed. In particular, we discuss…

The Hamiltonian eigenvalue problem for bound states of a quantum field theory is formulated in terms of Dirac's light-front coordinates and then approximated by the exponential-operator technique of the standard coupled-cluster method. This…

I call attention to the possibility that QCD bound states (hadrons) could be derived using rigorous Hamiltonian, perturbative methods. Solving Gauss' law for $A^0$ with a non-vanishing boundary condition at spatial infinity gives an…

We develop a systematic method for computing a renormalized light-front field theory Hamiltonian that can lead to bound states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle Fock-space sectors. To accomplish this without dropping…

The valence Fock-state wavefunctions of the light-front QCD Hamiltonian satisfy a relativistic equation of motion with an effective confining potential $U$ which systematically incorporates the effects of higher quark and gluon Fock states.…

In this article we review the basic formulation of light-front field theory and light-front phenomena in strong interaction. We also explore various approaches to the understanding of these phenomena and the associated problems of hadronic…
