On rotations in front-form dynamics

Description

Quantum field theories in front-form dynamics are not manifestly rotationally invariant. We study a model bound-state equation in 3+1 dimensional front-form dynamics, which was shown earlier to reproduce the Bohr and hyperfine structure of positronium. We test this model with regard to its rotational symmetry and find that rotational invariance is preserved to a high degree. Also, we find and quantify the expected dependence on the cut-off
