We derive the bound state equation for two gluons in relativistic quantum field theory, i.e. the Bethe–Salpeter (BS) equation for two gluons. To solve it, we choose the kernel as the sum of a one-gluon exchange potential, a contact interaction and a linear confining potential. Under instantaneous approximation, this BS equation is solved numerically. The spectrum and the BS wave function of the glueballs are obtained in this framework. The numerical results are in agreement with that of recent lattice calculation.

Instantaneous Approximation

Recently an instantaneous approximation to the Bethe–Salpeter formalism for the analysis of bound states in quantum field theory has been proposed which retains, in contrast to the Salpeter equation, as far as possible the exact propagators of the bound-state constituents, extracted nonperturbatively from Dyson–Schwinger equations or lattice gauge theory. The implications of this improvement for the solutions of this bound-state equation, i.e. the spectrum of the mass eigenvalues of its bound states and the corresponding wave functions, when considering the quark propagators arising in quantum chromodynamics are explored.

Bound State Problem

We present a fully covariant equation for the bound state problem in field theory. As an example the bound state equation for positronium is analyzed and compared with the one-body Dirac equation. Difficulties with the covariant bound state equation with unequal masses are pointed out.

Light front field theory: An advanced PrimerWe present an elementary introduction to quantum field theory formulated in terms of Dirac's light front variables. In addition to general principles and methods, a few more specific topics and approaches based on the author's work will be discussed. Most of the discussion deals with massive two-dimensional models formulated in a finite spatial volume starting with a detailed comparison between quantization of massive free fields in the usual field theory and the light front (LF) quantization. We discuss basic properties such as relativistic invariance and causality. After the LF treatment of the soluble Federbush model, a LF approach to spontaneous symmetry breaking is explained and a simple gauge theory - the massive Schwinger model in various gauges is studied. A LF version of bosonization and the massive Thirring model are also discussed. A special chapter is devoted to the method of discretized light cone quantization and its application to calculations of the properties of quantum solitons. The problem of LF zero modes is illustrated with the example of the two-dimensional Yukawa model. Hamiltonian perturbation theory in the LF formulation is derived and applied to a few simple processes to demonstrate its advantages. As a byproduct, it is shown that the LF theory cannot be obtained as a "light-like" limit of the usual field theory quantized on an initial space-like surface. A simple LF formulation of the Higgs mechanism is then given. Since our intention was to provide a treatment of the light front quantization accessible to postgradual students, an effort was made to discuss most of the topics pedagogically and a number of technical details and derivations are contained in the appendices.

A systematic discussion of the probability of eta and KL bound-state decays—[Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text](l=e, μ)—within a three-dimensional reduction to the two-body quantum field theory is presented. The bound-state vertex function depends on the relative momentum of constituent-like particles. A structure-transition form factor is defined by a confinement-type quark-antiquark wave function. The phenomenology of this kind of decays is analyzed.
