Motivated by the desire to understand chaos in the $S$-matrix of string theory, we study tree level scattering amplitudes involving highly excited strings. While the amplitudes for scattering of light strings have been a hallmark of string…
In these lecture notes, we take a closer look at the calculation of scattering amplitudes for the bosonic string. It is believed that string theories form the UV completions of (super)gravity theories. Support for this claim can be found in…
We study high-energy scattering at fixed angle in the planar limit of non-Abelian gauge field theories from type IIB superstring theory scattering amplitudes. Firstly, we consider four-glueball scattering described in terms of the…
We develop the general formalism of string scattering from decaying D-branes in bosonic string theory. In worldsheet perturbation theory, amplitudes can be written as a sum of correlators in a grand canonical ensemble of unitary random…
High energy fixed angle scattering is studied in matrix string theory. The saddle point world sheet configurations, which give the dominant contributions to the string theory amplitude, are taken as classical backgrounds in matrix string…
We derive compact expressions for one-loop scattering amplitudes of four open-string vector bosons around supersymmetric configurations with intersecting or magnetized D-branes on toroidal orbifolds. We check the validity of our formulae…
A novel probe of D-brane dynamics is via scattering of a high energy ripple traveling along an attached string. The inelastic processes in which the D-brane is excited through emission of an additional attached string is considered.…
We review and extend high energy string BCJ relations in both the fixed angle and Regge regimes. We then give an explicit proof of four point string BCJ relations for all energy. This calculation provides an alternative proof of the one…
We study the scattering of long strings in c = 1 string theory, both in the worldsheet description and in the non-singlet sector of the dual matrix quantum mechanics. From the worldsheet perspective, the scattering amplitudes of long…
String theory offers an elegant and concrete realization of how to consistently couple states of arbitrarily high spin. But how unique is this construction? In this paper we derive a novel, multi-parameter family of four-point scattering…
Four-particle tree-level scattering amplitudes in string theory are magically consistent with unitarity, reflected in the non-trivial fact that beneath the critical dimension, the residues of the amplitudes on massive poles can be expanded…
We discover that the 26D open bosonic string scattering amplitudes (SSA) of three tachyons and one arbitrary string state can be expressed in terms of the D-type Lauricella functions with associated SL(K+3,C) symmetry. As a result, SSA and…
We study the closed string emission from an unstable D$p$-brane with constant background electric field in bosonic string theory. The average total number density and the average total energy density of emitted closed strings are explicitly…
We discuss the shape of the interaction region of the elastically scattered protons stipulated by the high-energy Pomeron exchange which turns out to be very similar with the shape of the static string representing the confining QCD flux…
The high energy behavior of scattering amplitudes in spacetime dimensions, $D>4$, is investigated. The bound on total cross sections, $\sigma_t \le Constant~(los s)^{D-2}$, $D\ge 4$ has been obtained in the past under usual assumptions. I…
It has been known for about thirty years that a scattering amplitude involving D0-branes and closed strings suffers from infrared divergences beyond tree level. These divergences arise because the conventional world-sheet approach cannot…
We construct a large portion of the massive spectrum of the open bosonic string using light-cone quantization, providing explicit oscillator realizations for individual single-particle states as well as for full Regge trajectories. We show…
The amplitudes for emission and scattering of N=2 strings off D-branes are calculated. We consider in detail the amplitudes <cc> and <occ> for the different types of D-branes. For some D-branes we find massive poles in the scattering…
We identify spacetime symmetry charges of the bosonic sector of 10D superstring theory from an infinite number of zero-norm states (ZNS) in the old covariant first quantized string spectrum. We give evidences to support this identification.…
We study the scattering of low-energy tensor multiplet particles against a BPS saturated cosmic string. We show that the corresponding S-matrix is largely determined by symmetry considerations. We then apply a specific supersymmetric model…
