An outstanding goal of physics is to find solutions that describe hadrons in the theory of strong interactions, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). For this goal, the light-front Hamiltonian formulation of QCD (LFQCD) is a complementary approach to the well-established lattice gauge method. LFQCD offers access to the hadrons nonperturbative quark and gluon amplitudes, which are directly testable in experiments at existing and future facilities. We present an overview of the promises and challenges of LFQCD in the context of unsolved issues in QCD that require broadened and accelerated investigation. We identify specific goals of this approach and address its quantifiable uncertainties.

Asymptotic freedom of gluons in QCD is obtained in the leading terms of their renormalized Hamiltonian in the Fock space, instead of considering virtual Greens functions or scattering amplitudes. Namely, we calculate the three-gluon interaction term in the front-form Hamiltonian for effective gluons in the Minkowski space-time using the renormalization group procedure for effective particles (RGPEP), with a new generator. The resulting three-gluon vertex is a function of the scale parameter, $s$, that has an interpretation of the size of effective gluons. The corresponding Hamiltonian running coupling constant, $g_lambda$, depending on the associated momentum scale $lambda = 1/s$, is calculated in the series expansion in powers of $g_0 = g_{lambda_0}$ up to the terms of third order, assuming some small value for $g_0$ at some large $lambda_0$. The result exhibits the same finite sensitivity to small-$x$ regularization as the one obtained in an earlier RGPEP calculation, but the new calculation is simpler than the earlier one because of a simpler generator. This result establishes a degree of universality for pure-gauge QCD in the RGPEP.
We present the results of a recent analysis to study the nucleons charm sigma term, $sigma_{coverline{c}}$. We construct a minimal model in terms of light-front variables and constrain the range of possibilities using extant knowledge from deeply ine lastic scattering (DIS) and Bayesian parameter estimation, ultimately computing $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ in an explicitly covariant manner. We find a close correlation between a possible nonperturbative component of the charm structure function, $F^{coverline{c}}_{2,, mathrm{IC}}$, and $sigma_{coverline{c}}$. Independent of prescription for the covariant relativistic quark-nucleon vertex, we determine $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ under several different scenarios for the magnitude of intrinsic charm (IC) in DIS, namely $langle x rangle_{c+overline{c}} = 0.1%$, $0.35%$, and $1%$, obtaining for these $sigma_{coverline{c}} = 4 pm 4$, $12 pm 13$, and $32 pm 34$ MeV, respectively. These results imply the existence of a reciprocity between the IC parton distribution function (PDF) and $sigma_{coverline{c}}$ such that new information from either DIS or improved determinations of $sigma_{c overline{c}}$ could significantly impact constraints to the charm sector of the proton wave function.
The pion properties in symmetric nuclear matter are investigated with the Quark-Meson Coupling (QMC) Model plus the light-front constituent quark model~(LFCQM). The LFCQM has been quite successful in describing the properties of pseudoscalar mesons i n vacuum, such as the electromagnetic elastic form factors, electromagnetic radii, and decay constants. We study the pion properties in symmetric nuclear matter with the in-medium input recalculated through the QMC model, which provides the in-medium modification of the LFCQM.
We obtain the light meson mass spectroscopy from the light-front quantum chromodynamics (QCD) Hamiltonian, determined for their constituent quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon Fock components, together with a three-dimensional confinement. The eigenvectors of the light-front effective Hamiltonian provide a good quality description of the pion electromagnetic form factor, decay constant, and the valence quark distribution functions following QCD scale evolution. We also show that the pions gluon densities can be probed through the pion-nucleus induced $J/psi$ production data. Our pion parton distribution functions provide excellent agreement with $J/psi$ production data from widely different experimental conditions.

The QCD light-front Hamitonian equation derived from quantization at fixed LF time provides a causal, frame-independent, method for computing hadron spectroscopy and dynamical observables. de Alfaro, Fubini, and Furlan (dAFF) have made an important o bservation that a mass scale can appear in the equations of motion without affecting the conformal invariance of the action if one adds a term to the Hamiltonian proportional to the dilatation operator or the special conformal operator. If one applies the dAFF procedure to the QCD light-front Hamiltonian, it leads to a color confining potential $kappa^4 zeta^2$ for mesons, where $zeta^2$ is the LF radial variable conjugate to the $q bar q$ invariant mass squared. The same result, including spin terms, is obtained using light-front holography if one modifies the AdS$_5$ action by the dilaton $e^{kappa^2 z^2}$ in the fifth dimension $z$. When one generalizes this procedure using superconformal algebra, the resulting light-front eigensolutions provide a unified Regge spectroscopy of meson, baryon, and tetraquarks, including remarkable supersymmetric relations between the masses of mesons and baryons and a universal Regge slope. The pion $q bar q$ eigenstate has zero mass at $m_q=0.$ The superconformal relations also can be extended to heavy-light quark mesons and baryons. AdS/QCD also predicts the analytic form of the nonperturbative running coupling in agreement with the effective charge measured from measurements of the Bjorken sum rule. The mass scale underlying hadron masses can be connected to the mass parameter in the QCD running coupling. The result is an effective coupling $alpha_s(Q^2)$ defined at all momenta. One also obtains empirically viable predictions for spacelike and timelike hadronic form factors, structure functions, distribution amplitudes, and transverse momentum distributions.
