We develop a new systematic approach to quantum field theory that is designed to lead to physical states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle Fock-space sectors. To make this possible, we use light-front field theory to…
Starting from a given topological invariant, we argue that it is possible to construct a topological field theory with a finite number of Feynman diagrams and an amplitude of gauge invariant objects that is a function of that invariant.…
We discuss the scattering equivalence of the generalized Bakamjian-Thomas construction of dynamical representations of the Poincar\'e group in all of Dirac's forms of dynamics. The equivalence was established by Sokolov in the context of…
