High Energy Scattering in the AdS/CFT Correspondence

Understand

This work explores the celebrated AdS/CFT correspondence in the regime of high energy scattering in Anti--de Sitter (AdS) spacetime.

• In particular, we develop the eikonal approximation to high energy scattering in AdS and explore its consequences for the dual Conformal Field Theory (CFT).
• Using position space Feynman rules, we rederive the eikonal approximation for high energy scattering in flat space.
• Following this intuitive position space perspective, we then generalize the eikonal approximation for high energy scattering in AdS and other spacetimes.
