We study the scattering of a particle from a bound pair in an effective field theory using a distorted-wave renormalisation group method to find the power-counting for the three-body force terms. We find that three-body terms appear at…
We discuss the light-cone quantization of gauge theories as a calculational tool for representing hadrons as QCD bound-states of relativistic quarks and gluons, and also as a novel method for simulating quantum field theory on a computer.…
The stationary distribution of a fully chaotic system typically exhibits a fractal structure, which dramatically changes if the dynamical equations are even slightly modified. Perturbative techniques are not expected to work in this…
At the moment, the most efficient method to compute the state of a periodically driven quantum system is using Floquet theory and the Floquet eigenbasis. The wide application of this basis set method is limited by: a lack of unique ordering…
In a recent paper we demonstrated how the simplest model for varying alpha may be interpreted as the effect of a dielectric material, generalized to be consistent with Lorentz invariance. Unlike normal dielectrics, such a medium cannot…
We study two versions of lightcone sum rules to calculate the $\gamma^*\gamma\rightarrow\pi^0$ transition form factor (TFF) within QCD. While the standard version is based on fixed-order perturbation theory by means of a power-series…
Is a spontaneous perpetual reversal of the arrow of time possible? The out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) is a standard measure of irreversibility, quantum scrambling, and the arrow of time. The question may be thus formulated more…
We present an intuitive, light front reduction scheme for the Bethe-Salpeter equation that consists of iterations of the (light front) energy dependent covariant equation followed by an instantaneous approximation. This scheme is equivalent…
We review the development of light-cone-ordered perturbation theory in coordinate space (C-LCOPT). Compared to light-cone-ordered perturbation theory in momentum space (LCOPT), the role of intermediate states in LCOPT is played in C-LCOPT…
The light-front quantization of gauge theories such as QCD in light-cone gauge provides a frame-independent wavefunction representation of relativistic bound states, simple forms for current matrix elements, explicit unitarity, and a…
