Regge amplitudes from AdS/CFT duality

Abstract

String theory has long ago been initiated by the quest for a theoretical explanation of the observed high-energy ``Regge behaviour'' of strong interaction amplitudes, but this 35-years-old puzzle is still unsoved. We discuss how modern tools like the AdS/CFT correspondence give a new insight on the problem.
