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…
Within a scheme of light front quantization of $\phi^4_{1+1}$, it is demonstrated that dynamics of zero modes implies phase transition, and that the critical value of the coupling coincides with the one of the equal time quantization.
Persistent currents in disordered mesoscopic rings threaded by a magnetic flux are calculated using exact diagonalization methods in the one-dimensional (1D) case and self-consistent Hartree-Fock treatments for two dimensional (2D) systems.…
Light-front field theory offers a scenario in which a constituent picture of hadrons may arise, but only if cutoffs that violate explicit covariance and gauge invariance are used. The perturbative renormalization group can be used to…
We calculate the hypercharge and flavor singlet axial couplings related to the spin of the nucleon in a constituent quark model. In addition to the standard one-body axial currents, the model includes two-body axial exchange currents. The…
We use recent data on K^+ -> pi^+e^+e^-, together with known values for the pion form factor, to derive the kaon electromagnetic form factor for 0 <q^2 <0.125 (GeV/c)^2. The results are then compared with predictions of the Linear sigma…

We compute the axial vector current, form factor, and coupling for quarks in the instanton liquid model with two light flavors. Non-local current corrections are derived, as required by the effective 't Hooft interaction. We obtain a…
Experimental data of the pion charge form factor are well represented by Poincar\'e invariant constituent-quark phenomenology depending on two parameters, a confinement scale and an effective constituent--quark mass. Pion states are…
Using data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, corresponding to 5.3 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity, we search for violation of Lorentz invariance by examining the \ttbar production cross section in…
We discuss a necessary nonvalence contribution in timelike exclusive processes. Following a Schwinger-Dyson type of approach, we relate the nonvalence contribution to an ordinary light-front wave function that has been extensively tested in…
We compute the corrections from two-photon and photon-Z exchange in parity-violating elastic electron-proton scattering, used to extract the strange form factors of the proton. We use a hadronic formalism that successfully reconciled the…
In the calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of $W^\pm$ bosons, we discuss vector anomalies occuring in the fermion loop that spoil the predictive power of the theory. While the previous analyses were limited to using essentially the…
A fermion-boson-type Composite Model is proposed. Elementary fields are only one kind of spin-1/2 and spin-0 {\bf preon}. Both are in the global supersymmetric pair with the common electric charge of e/6 and belong to the fundamental…
We study the generation of an electric current, along the external magnetic field, of fermions, interacting by parity violating electroweak forces with background matter. First, we discuss the situation of massive particles with nonzero…

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…
We consider the electric dipole form factor, F_3(q^2), as well as the Dirac and Pauli form factors, F_1(q^2) and F_2(q^2), of the nucleon in the light-front formalism. We derive an exact formula for F_3(q^2) to complement those known for…
