Equivalent Hamiltonians
I give a characterization of the conditions for two Hamiltonians to be
equivalent, discuss the construction of the operators that relate equivalent
Hamiltonians, and introduce variational methods that can select Hamiltonians
with desirable features from the space of equivalent Hamiltonians.Comment: 15 page
The light-front vacuum and dynamics
I give a quantum theoretical description of kinematically invariant vacuua on
the algebra of free fields restricted to a light front and discuss the relation
between the light-front Hamiltonian, P-, the vacuum, and Poincare invariance.
This provides a quantum theoretical description of zero modes.Comment: 5 pages, Talk at Light-Cone 200
Relativistic Quantum Dynamics of Many-Body Systems
Relativistic quantum dynamics requires a unitary representation of the
Poincare group on the Hilbert space of states. The dynamics of many-body
systems must satisfy cluster separability requirements. In this paper we
formulate an abstract framework of four dimensional Euclidean Green functions
that can be used to construct relativistic quantum dynamics of N-particle
systems consistent with these requirements. This approach should be useful in
bridging the gap between few-body dynamics based on phenomenological mass
operators and on quantum field theory.Comment: Latex, 9 Pages, Submitted to World Scientific - 50 Years of Quantum
