Practical calculations in light-front dynamics are, as a general rule, complicated, since there is no consensus about how to treat the poles which come from the instantaneous parts of Feynman's propagators of the fields. An alternative to…

We investigate the electromagnetic form factor $F(q^2)$ of the meson by using the solvable $\phi^{3}$ scalar field model in $(1+1)$ dimensions. As the transverse rotations are absent in $(1+1)$ dimensions, the advantage of the light-front…
The Poincar\'e algebra can be extended (non-centrally) to the Maxwell algebra and beyond. These extensions are relevant for describing particle dynamics in electro-magnetic backgrounds and possibly including the backreaction due the…
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 $ct+z=0$. Corresponding dynamical approach - the…
In this article we give an introduction to the Fock quantization of the Maxwell field. At the classical level, we treat the theory in both the covariant and canonical phase space formalisms. The approach is general since we consider…
The elementary particles are modeled as harmonic oscillator excitations of transverse U(1) gauge fields propagating at v = c, with open and closed string-like propagation paths. One, two and three node states represent the leptons, bosons,…

The diffusion equation is the primary tool to study the movement dynamics of a free Brownian particle, but when spatial heterogeneities in the form of permeable interfaces are present, no fundamental equation has been derived. Here we…
Light front wave functions (LFWFs) are often utilized to model parton distributions and form factors where their transverse and longitudinal momenta are tied to each other in some manner that is often guided by convenience. On the other…
