17. IV. Wide Angle Scattering The 2-to-m glueball scattering amplitude T(p 1,p 2, , p m+2 ) for plane wave glueball: This is a check on the underlining universality of Maldacena's duality conjecture. scatter via the string(M-theory) amplitude: A(p i, r i, X i ) in the 10-d (or 11-d) bulk space (x,r,Y): AdS 5 £ X with IR cut-off on r > r min or 10-d IIB string theory AdS 7 £ S 4 $ Black Hole with horizon r = r min or 11-d M-theory. We now discuss two different approaches to the QCD string that both give the correct parton scaling formula.

18. 10-d String theory Approach: Polchinski and Strassler Due to the Red Shift in the Warped Co-ordinate,  s = (R/r)  x,a plane wave glueball, exp[i x p], scatters with a local proper momentum, String is UV shifted in the YM’s IR. (This is the so called UV/IR connection.) THUS wide angle scattering IS exponentially suppressed in the region r 2 [r min,r scatt ] HOWEVER there is a small remaining amplitude at large r that that gives the correct conformal scaling of the naive parton model! E.g for a scalar glueball  » r -4 corresponding to n i = 4 for the YM operator, Tr[F 2 ], in exact agreement with the parton result.
