Position dependent mass Scarf Hamiltonians generated via the Riccati equation

Producción CientíficaThe construction of position dependent mass Scarf Hamiltonians of the trigonometric as well as the hyperbolic types is addressed by means of the factorization method and the Riccati equation. These Hamiltonians are shown to be independent of the ordering parameter of the kinetic term. Additionally, new families of Hamiltonians with the Scarf spectrum are also determined by supersymmetry. Some examples for masses with and without singularities are considered to illustrate our results

Recursion relations for multi-gluon off-shell amplitudes on the light-front and Wilson lines

We analyze the off-shell scattering amplitudes in the framework of the light-front perturbation theory. It is shown that the previously derived recursion relation between tree level off-shell amplitudes in this formalism actually resums whole classes of graphs into a Wilson line. More precisely, we establish a correspondence between the light-front methods for the computation of the off-shell amplitudes and the approach which makes use of the matrix elements of straight infinite Wilson lines, which are manifestly gauge invariant objects. Furthermore, since it is needed to explicitly verify the gauge invariance of light-front amplitudes, it is demonstrated that the Ward identities in this framework need additional instantaneous terms in the light-front graphs.Comment: 26 pages, a few figure
