We use the vacuum expectation value of a Wegner-Wilson loop representing a fast moving quark-antiquark pair to derive the light cone Hamiltonian for a $q\bar q$ meson. We solve the corresponding Schr\"odinger equation for various trial wave…
The Schwinger model is studied in a finite lattice by means of the P-representation. The vacuum energy, mass gap and chiral condensate are evaluated showing good agreement with the expected values in the continuum limit.
This monograph aims to build some new mathematical structures originated from Dyson--Schwinger equations for the description of non-perturbative aspects of gauge field theories whenever bare or running coupling constants are strong enough.
In spite of its problems with interactions, the first-quantized Klein-Gordon equation is a satisfactory theory of free spinless particles. Moreover, the usual theory may be extended to describe Lorentz-violating behavior, of the same types…

We report here the status of different gauge conditions in the canonical formulation of quantum electrodynamics on light-front surfaces. We start with the massive vector fields as pedagogical models where all basic concepts and possible…
We formulate QCD in (d+1) dimensions using Dirac's front form with periodic boundary conditions, that is, within Discretized Light-Cone Quantization. The formalism is worked out in detail for SU(2) pure glue theory in (2+1) dimensions which…
We quantize a relativistic massive complex spin-0 field and a relativistic massive spin-1/2 field on a space-time hyperboloid. We call this procedure point-form canonical quantization. Lorentz invariance of the hyperboloid implies that the…
Canonical methods are not sufficient to properly quantize space-like axial gauges. In this paper, we obtain guiding principles which allow the construction of an extended Hamiltonian formalism for pure space-like axial gauge fields. To do…
In this paper we investigate the canonical quantization of a non-Abelian topologically massive Chern-Simons theory in which the gauge fields are minimally coupled to a multiplet of scalar fields in such a way that the gauge symmetry is…
The formulation of statistical physics using light-front quantization, instead of conventional equal-time boundary conditions, has important advantages for describing relativistic statistical systems, such as heavy ion collisions. We…
Discussed is the quantized version of the classical description of collective and internal affine modes as developed in Part I. We perform the Schr\"odinger quantization and reduce effectively the quantized problem from $n^{2}$ to $n$…
SU(2) gauge theory coupled to massless fermions in the adjoint representation is quantized in light-cone gauge by imposing the equal-time canonical algebra. The theory is defined on a space-time cylinder with "twisted" boundary conditions,…
We solve Klein-Gordon equation (KGE) in the framework of the real Hilbert space approach to quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM). The presented solution is the simplest ever obtained for quaternionic quantum theories, and the…
Quantization of field theories with gauge symmetry is an extensively discussed and well-established topic. In this short note, we revisit this old problem. While we confirm all details of the existing literature, we highlight a potentially…
We present a Lorentz gauge theory of gravity in which the metric is not dynamical. Spherically symmetric weak field solutions are studied. We show that this solution contains the Schwarzschild spacetime at least to the first order of…
We revise the problem of the quantization of relativistic particle models (spinless and spinning), presenting a modified consistent canonical scheme. One of the main point of the modification is related to a principally new realization of…
