An introductory overview on Light-Front quantization, with some emphasis on recent achievements, is given. Light-Front quantization is the most promising and physical tool to study deep inelastic scattering on the basis of quark gluon degrees of freedom. The simplified vacuum structure (nontrivial vacuum effects can only appear in zero-mode degrees of freedom) and the physical basis allows for a description of hadrons that stays close to intuition. Recent progress has ben made in understanding the connection between effective LF Hamiltonians and nontrivial vacuum condesates. Discrete Light-Cone Quantization, the transverse lattice and Light-Front Tamm-Dancoff (in combination with renormalization group techniques) are the main tools for exploring LF-Hamiltonians nonperturbatively.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    Solving Poincaré-algebra closure at quartic order yields infinitely many local 4d massless higher-spin theories (finite or infinite spectra), classifies chiral one-/two-derivative models, and determines all local unit...

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives new state-independent lower bounds on semi-local integrals of null energy flux in QFTs of two and higher dimensions using QNEC, strong subadditivity, and modular Hamiltonians.

  3. Covariant analysis of electromagnetic current on the light cone: exposition with scalar Yukawa theory

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Adding an antinucleon Fock component, even at only ~2% probability, dramatically reduces the frame dependence of the charge form factor in strongly coupled scalar Yukawa theory on the light front.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Introduces a gluon mass and auxiliary scalar field to cancel small-x divergences in the front-form QCD Hamiltonian, yielding confinement for heavy quarks as the mass parameter is sent to zero.
