The fragmentation functions and scattering amplitudes are investigated in the framework of light-front perturbation theory. It is demonstrated that, the factorization property of the fragmentation functions implies the recursion relations for the off-shell scattering amplitudes which are light-front analogs of the Berends-Giele relations. These recursion relations on the light-front can be solved exactly by induction and it is shown that the expressions for the off-shell light-front amplitudes are represented as a linear combinations of the on-shell amplitudes. By putting external particles on-shell we recover the scattering amplitudes previously derived in the literature.

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.
The ladder kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is amended by introducing a different flavor dependence of the dressing functions in the heavy-quark sector. Compared with earlier work this allows for the simultaneous calculation of the mass spectrum and leptonic decay constants of light pseudoscalar mesons, the $D_u$, $D_s$, $B_u$, $B_s$ and $B_c$ mesons and the heavy quarkonia $eta_c$ and $eta_b$ within the same framework at a physical pion mass. The corresponding Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes are projected onto the light front and we reconstruct the distribution amplitudes of the mesons in the full theory. A comparison with the first inverse moment of the heavy meson distribution amplitude in heavy quark effective theory is made.
We systematically study the semileptonic decays of ${bf B_c} to {bf B_n}ell^+ u_{ell}$ in the light-front constituent quark model, where ${bf B_c}$ represent the anti-triplet charmed baryons of $(Xi_c^0,Xi_c^+,Lambda_c^+)$ and ${bf B_n}$ correspond to the octet ones. We determine the spin-flavor structures of the constituents in the baryons with the Fermi statistics and calculate the decay branching ratios (${cal B}$s) and averaged asymmetry parameters ($alpha$s) with the helicity formalism. In particular, we find that ${cal B}( Lambda_c^+ to Lambda e^+ u_{e}, ne^+ u_{e})=(3.55pm1.04, 0.36pm0.15)%$, ${cal B}( Xi_c^+ to Xi^0 e^+ u_{e},Sigma^0 e^+ u_{e},Lambda e^+ u_{e})=(11.3pm3.35), 0.33pm0.09,0.12pm0.04%$ and ${cal B}( Xi_c^0 to Xi^- e^+ u_{e},Sigma^- e^+ u_{e})=(3.49pm0.95,0.22pm0.06)%$. Our results agree with the current experimental data. Our prediction for ${cal B}( Lambda_c^+ to n e^+ u_{e})$ is consistent with those in the literature, which can be measured by the charm-facilities, such as BESIII and BELLE. Some of our results for the $Xi_c^{+(0)}$ semileptonic channels can be tested by the experiments at BELLE as well as the ongoing ones at LHCb and BELLEII.
We show that there exist infinite number of recurrence relations valid for all energies among the open bosonic string scattering amplitudes (SSA) of three tachyons and one arbitrary string state, or the Lauricella SSA. Moreover, these infinite number of recurrence relations can be used to solve all the Lauricella SSA and express them in terms of one single four tachyon amplitude. These results extend the solvability of SSA at the high energy, fixed angle scattering limit and those at the Regge scattering limit discovered previously.
We develop a numerical method to nonperturbatively study scattering and gluon emission of a quark from a colored target using a light-front Hamiltonian approach. The target is described as a classical color field, as in the Color Glass Condensate effective theory. The Fock space of the scattering system is restricted to the $ket{q}+ket{qg}$ sectors, but the time evolution of this truncated system is solved exactly. This method allows us to study the interplay between coherence and multiple scattering in gluon emission. It could be applied both to studying subeikonal effects in high energy scattering and to understanding jet quenching in a hot plasma.
