abstract
Starting from the Hamiltonian equation of motion in QCD, we identify an invariant light-front coordinate $\zeta$ which allows the separation of the dynamics of quark and gluon binding from the kinematics of constituent spin and internal orbital angular momentum. The result is a single variable light-front Schrodinger equation for QCD which determines the eigenspectrum and the light-front wavefunctions of hadrons for general spin and orbital angular momentum. This light-front wave equation is equivalent to the equations of motion which describe the propagation of spin-$J$ modes on anti-de Sitter (AdS) space.

The authors use the two-flavor NJL model to obtain medium-modified constituent quark masses and then compute the in-medium pion electromagnetic form factor, distribution amplitude, and parton distribution function via light-cone wave functions, with DGLAP evolution applied.
A tachyonic AdS/QCD construction deforms the bulk geometry with a tachyon-dependent dielectric function to produce a unified running coupling from perturbative UV to nonperturbative IR regimes.
Holographic light-front QCD supplies K* distribution amplitudes that produce alternate predictions for rare B decay form factors, compared against sum rules and experiment.
Deuteron GFFs and GPDs calculated in hard-wall AdS/QCD agree in momentum dependence with soft-wall results and match experimental gravitational mean square radius.
