We review the foundations as well as a number of important applications of light-cone dynamics. Topics covered are: relativistic particle dynamics, reparametrization invariance, Dirac's front form, light-cone quantization of fields via Schwinger's quantum action principle or Faddeev-Jackiw reduction, light-cone vacuum and wave functions, zero modes and spontaneous symmetry breaking, `t Hooft and Schwinger model, and the light-cone wave function of the pion.

  1. Soft charges and zero modes at null boundaries

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    Residual zero modes of the null-surface constraint matrix generate quasilocal soft edge charges that form an Abelian algebra without central extension, at infinity and at horizons.

  2. Poincar\'e invariance and the Unruh effect

    physics.gen-ph 2024-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Acceleration has no effect on a causality-enforcing trivial vacuum, so the Unruh effect is absent and standard calculations omit a cancelling contribution from Lorentz transformations acting on the detector.
