I review progress made in solving gauge theories such as collinear quantum chromodynamics using light-cone Hamiltonian methods. I also show how the light-cone Fock expansion for hadron wavefunctions can be used to compute operator matrix…
We consider a relativistic charged particle in a background scalar field depending on both space and time. Poincar\'e, dilation and special conformal symmetries of the field generate conserved quantities in the charge motion, and we exploit…
The light-front (LF) quantization of the bosonized Schwinger model is discussed in the "continuum formulation". The proposal, successfully used earlier for describing the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) on the LF, of separating first…

If there is a null gradient field in 1+3 dimensional space-time, we can set up a kind of light-cone coordinate system in the space-time. In such coordinate system, the metric takes a simple form, which is much helpful for simplifying and…
We use the light-front machinery to study the behavior of a relativistic free particle and obtain the quantum commutation relations from the classical Poisson brackets. We argue that the usual projection onto the light-front coordinates for…
In the light-cone gauge choice for Abelian and non-Abelian gauge fields, the vector boson propagator carries in it an additional ``spurious'' or ``unphysical'' pole intrinsic to the choice requiring a careful mathematical treatment.…
We apply the basis light-front quantization framework to solve for the structures of mesons with light and strange valence quarks. Our approach treats mesons as relativistic bound states with quarks confined in both the transverse direction…

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) describes the structure of hadrons such as the proton at a fundamental level. The precision of calculations in QCD limits the precision of the values of many physical parameters extracted from collider data. For…
Precanonical quantization is based on a generalization of the Hamiltonian formalism to field theory, the so-called De Donder-Weyl (DW) theory, which does not require a spacetime splitting and treats the space-time variables on an equal…
Front form dynamics is not a manifestly rotational invariant formalism. In particular, the requirement of an invariance under rotations around the transverse axes is difficult to fulfill.In the present work it is investigated, to which…
A genuine continuum treatment of the massive \phi^4_{1+1}-theory in light-cone quantization is proposed. Fields are treated as operator valued distributions thereby leading to a mathematically well defined handling of ultraviolet and light…
