Abstract
The relativistic wave functions of and nuclei are calculated in the framework of light-front dynamics. They are determined by 32 spin-isospin components, each of which depends on five scalar variables. For nucleon-nucleon interaction, the one-boson exchange model is assumed but without a potential approximation. The relativistic effects manifest themselves in deviation of the relativistic components from the nonrelativistic input, in the appearance of the components absent in the nonrelativistic limit, and in dependence of solutions on specific variables that do not exist in the nonrelativistic wave function.
