Abstract

Different aspects of the Verlinde and Verlinde relation between high-energy effective scattering in QCD and a two-dimensional sigma-model are discussed. Starting from a lattice version of the truncated 4-dimensional Yang-Mills action we derive an effective theory with non-trivial longitudinal dynamics which has a form of the lattice two-dimensional chiral field model with non-trivial boundary conditions. To get quantum corrections coming from non-trivial longitudinal dynamics to transversal high-energy effective action one has to solve the two-dimensional chiral field model with non-trivial boundary conditions. We do this within an approximation scheme which takes into account one-dimensional excitations. Contributions of the one-dimensional excitations to quantum corrections for the high-energy effective action are calculated in the large N limit using the character expansion method.
