This is a collection of my lecture notes on the higher-spin theory course given for students at
the Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University …

Applications of relativistic light front dynamics to computing the nucleonic and mesonic
components of nuclear wave functions are reviewed. In this approach the fields are …

We investigate the spin-orbital angular momentum correlations for the active quark inside
the light and heavy mesons for both the spin-0 and spin-1 cases. These correlations can be …

The boost-invariant longitudinal space, defined by the parameter σ= 1 2 b-P+, can be
studied from the Fourier transformation of generalized transverse momentum distributions …

We present the gluon generalized TMDs for non-zero skewness and Wigner distributions in
the boost invariant longitudinal space. The boost-invariant longitudinal space is defined as …

In this paper we compare light-front quantization and instant-time quantization both at the
level of operators and at the level of their Feynman diagram matrix elements. At the level of …

A bstract We present the leading-twist quark transverse momentum-dependent parton
distribution functions (TMDs) for the spin-1 target, such as the ρ-meson, in the light-front …

We develop a light-front model of the proton to investigate the twist-3 chiral-even
generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of light sea quarks. In this model, the sea quarks are …

We study the canonical structure of the real first order formulation of general relativity on a
null foliation. We use a tetrad decomposition which allows us to elegantly encode the nature …

Quantum field theory in the presence of strong background fields contains interesting
problems where quantum computers may someday provide a valuable computational …
