In these lectures we hope to provide an elementary introduction to selected topics in light-front dynamics. Starting from the study of free field theories of scalar boson, fermion, and massless vector boson, the canonical field commutators and propagators in the instant and front forms are compared and contrasted. Poincare algebra is described next where the explicit expressions for the Poincare generators of free scalar theory in terms of the field operators and Fock space operators are also given. Next, to illustrate the idea of Fock space description of bound states and to analyze some of the simple relativistic features of bound systems without getting into the wilderness of light-front renormalization, Quantum Electrodynamics in one space - one time dimensions is discussed along with the consideration of anomaly in this model. Lastly, light-front power counting is discussed. One of the consequences of light-front power counting in the simple setting of one space - one time dimensions is illustrated using massive Thirring model. Next, motivation for light-front power counting is discussed and power assignments for dynamical variables in three plus one dimensions are given. Simple examples of tree level Hamiltonians constructed by power counting are provided and finally the idea of reducing the number of free parameters in the theory by appealing to symmetries is illustrated using a tree level example in Yukawa theory.

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
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...

Soft Gluon Wave Function and Evolution Operator in the CGC at Next-to-Leading Order
The full O(g²) soft-gluon evolution operator in the CGC is constructed; acting on the pure-YM Hamiltonian it reduces it to its free part plus a ρ² coherent background energy.

Electron-Ion Collision Environment: Distribution of Quark Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum
Using NJL density-dependent quark masses in a light-front dressed-quark model, the paper predicts O(10–40%) medium modifications of GTMDs linked to quark OAM, spin, and spin–orbit correlation, and defines eA/eP GTMD r...

Unveiling Skewness Dependence of Quark Wigner Distributions
In the light-front dressed quark model, all leading-twist quark Wigner distributions become increasingly distorted and localized as the skewness parameter xi grows from 0 to 0.5.

Quark Wigner distribution in frame-independent 3-dimensional space
Quark Wigner maps in boost-invariant 3D impact-parameter space are centrally peaked, symmetric, and show orbital-like nodal rings.
