On the effective Hamiltonian for QCD: An overview and status report

Abstract

The session on effective Hamiltonians and chiral dynamics is overviewed, combined with a review on the bound-state problem. The progress during this session allows to remove all dependence on regularization in an effective interaction, thus to renormalize a Hamiltonian for the first time, and to solve front form as if they were instant-form equations, with all the advantages implied.
