The soft Pomeron from AdS-CFT
Horatiu Nastase
In previous treatments, high energy QCD was analyzed using AdS-CFT a la Polchinski-Strassler. Black hole production in AdS was responsible for power law behaviour of the total QCD…
Towards S matrices on flat space and pp waves from SYM
Antal Jevicki, Horatiu Nastase
We analyze the possibility of extracting S matrices on pp waves and flat space from SYM correlators. For pp waves, there is a subtlety in defining S matrices, but we can certainly…
The RHIC fireball as a dual black hole
Horatiu Nastase
We argue that the fireball observed at RHIC is (the analog of) a dual black hole. In previous works, we have argued that the large behaviour of the total QCD cross section is d…
On high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds
Horatiu Nastase
We analyze the high energy scattering inside gravitational backgrounds using 't Hooft's formalism. The scattering is equivalent to geodesic shifts accross Aichelburg-Sexl waves ins…
On fuzzy spheres and (M)atrix actions
Horatiu Nastase
In this note we compare even and odd fuzzy sphere constructions, their dimensional reductions and possible (M)atrix actions having them as solutions. We speculate on how the fuzzy…
Towards a Chern-Simons M theory of
Horatiu Nastase
A possible way of defining M theory as the CS theory for the supergroup is investigated, based on the approach by Horava in hep-th/9712130. In the high…
