Small x divergences in the Similarity RG approach to LF QCD

Abstract

We study small x divergences in boost invariant similarity renormalization group approach to light-front QCD in a heavy quark-antiquark state. With the boost invariance maintained, the infrared divergences do not cancel out in the physical states, contrary to previous studies where boost invariance was violated by a choice of a renormalization scale. This may be an indication that the zero mode, or nontrivial light-cone vacuum structure, might be important for recovering full Lorentz invariance.
