Restoration of rotational invariance of bound states on the light front
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study bound states in a model with scalar nucleons interacting via an exchanged scalar meson using the Hamiltonian formalism on the light front. In this approach manifest rotational invariance is broken when the Fock space is truncated. By considering an effective Hamiltonian that takes into account two meson exchanges, we find that this breaking of rotational invariance is decreased from that which occurs when only one meson exchange is included. The best improvement occurs when the states are weakly bound. PACS number(s): 21.45.+v, 03.65.Ge, 03.65.Pm, 11.10.Ef Typeset using REVTEX

Finiteness Conditions for Light-Front Hamiltonians
Many advantages of the light-front (LF) formulation for bound state problems arise from the manifest boost invariance in the longitudinal direction [1{5]. The price for this advantage is that other symmetries, such as parity or rotational invariance (for rotations around a transverse axis) are no longer manifest [6,7]. From the technical point of view, the loss of manifest parity and full rotat...
متن کاملTwo New Quadrilateral Elements Based on Strain States
In this paper, two new quadrilateral elements are formulated to solve plane problems. Low sensitivity to geometric distortion, no parasitic shear error, rotational invariance, and satisfying the Felippa pure bending test are characteristics of these suggested elements. One proposed element is formulated by establishing equilibrium equations for the second-order strain field. The other suggested...
متن کاملGlueballs on a transverse lattice
Accurate non-perturbative calculations of glueballs are performed using light-front quantised SU(N) gauge theory, to leading order of the 1/N expansion. Based on early work of Bardeen and Pearson, disordered gauge-covariant link variables M on a coarse transverse lattice are used to approximate the physical gauge degrees of freedom. Simple energetics imply that, at lattice spacings of order the...

The method of flow equations is applied to QED on the light front. Requiring that the particle number conserving terms in the Hamiltonian are considered to be diagonal and the other terms off-diagonal an effective Hamiltonian is obtained which reduces the positronium problem to a two-particle problem, since the particle number violating contributions are eliminated. Using an effective electron-...
متن کاملRotational Invariance In Nuclear Light-Front Mean Field Theory
A light-front treatment for spherical nuclei is developed from a relativistic effective Lagrangian and employing the mean field approximation. Minimizing the nuclear minus momentum subject to the constraint that, in the rest frame, the expectation values of the plusand minus-momenta are the same leads to a formalism in which rotational invariance is recovered. Light cone variables have long bee...
