contents Within light-front quantization, hadrons can be represented on a Fock-space basis of configurations of elementary partons. The coefficients of the expansion are called light-front wave functions (LFWFs), and encode all the dynamical degrees of freedom. We show how to extract the LFWFs of baryons, such as the proton, from equal-time correlators suitable for Lattice QCD simulations. Using an operator product expansion, we prove the factorization of the relevant correlator in the three-quark color-singlet LFWF, a residual lattice factor, and a soft factor that systematically subtracts the additional divergences arising from the factorization. We verify up to next-to-leading order the independent renormalizability of the LFWF, and we derive the evolution equations that govern its scale dependence.
