Light-Front Holography and Supersymmetric Conformal Algebra: A Novel Approach
Brodsky, Stanley.
Recent insights into the nonperturbative structure of QCD based on the gauge/gravity correspondence and light-front (LF) quantization, light-front holography for short [1], have lead to effective semiclassical bound state equations for mesons and baryons where the confinement potential is determined by an underlying superconformal algebraic structure [2{4]. The formalism provides a remarkably first approximation to QCD, including its hidden supersymmetric hadronic features. The resulting light-f... Show Full Abstract
Recent insights into the nonperturbative structure of QCD based on the gauge/gravity correspondence and light-front (LF) quantization, light-front holography for short [1], have lead to effective semiclassical bound state equations for mesons and baryons where the confinement potential is determined by an underlying superconformal algebraic structure [2{4]. The formalism provides a remarkably first approximation to QCD, including its hidden supersymmetric hadronic features. The resulting light-front wave equation allows the familiar tools and insights of Schrodinger's nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and the Hamiltonian formalism to be applied to relativistic hadronic physics [5{7]. It should be noted that supersymmetry in this approach is supersymmetric quantum mechanics [8] and refers to bound state wave functions and not to elementary quantum fields. Show Partial Abstract
