Light-front Ward-Takahashi identity for two-fermion systems

Abstract: We propose a three-dimensional electromagnetic current operator within light-front dynamics that satisfies a light-front Ward-Takahashi identity for two-fermion systems. The light-front current operator is obtained by a quasipotential reduction of the four-dimensional current operator and acts on the light-front valence component of bound or scattering states. A relation between the light-front valence wave function and the four-dimensional Bethe-Salpeter amplitude both for bound or scattering states is also d… Show more

“…To discuss the wave function dependence of the LF zero-mode [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58] contributions to φ P 3;M (x) and φ ⊥ 3;V (x), we analyzed both the exactly solvable manifestly covariant Bethe-Salpeter (BS) model and the more phenomenologically accessible realistic LFQM [24,26] in the standard LF approach. The purpose of taking the exactly solvable covariant BS model was to check the existence (or absence) of the zero mode in each channel, e.g.…”

“…One may wonder how the valence wave function be able to generate the whole physical complexity of the full BS amplitude. Indeed, within a non perturbative framework, it formally turns out [24][25][26][27][28][29] that by introducing the pro-jection onto the null-plane, namely the analytic integration over the variable k − = k 0 − k 3 , the full BS amplitude can be expressed in terms of the valence component and an operator, producing the richness of the Fock states on top of the lowest one. It must be emphasized that such a result has been obtained for both bound and scattering states of bosonic and fermionic systems.…”

“…[31] based on the quasi-potential approach (QPA). The reduced amplitudes derived using the tools developed in a series of works [31][32][33][34][35] and reviewed in [36], depends only three-dimensional variables, namely, the kinematical LF momentum k ≡ (k + , k ⊥ ), defined by k + = k 0 + k 3 and k ⊥ = {k x , k y }. The phase-space integration is normalized according to dk…”
