A great interest for diffraction has been generated these last years by the HERA data. They give us the first opportunity to understand high energy diffractive physics in terms of a fundamental theory, i.e. QCD. A review of the main results…
Problem solutions in area of diffraction and of scattering theory are considered from one point of view. The method common for them is based on approximate orthogonality of solution constituents, which oscillate on a body long frontier.…

The scattering of two hadronic objects at high energy is similar to a reaction-diffusion process described by the stochastic Fisher-Kolmogorov equation. This basic observation enables us to derive universal properties of the scattering…
I review some of the main results on hard diffraction, in their relation to QCD, and indicate some of the strengths and weaknesses of the arguments. I also make some suggestions for future work.
We give a short review of high energy scattering in string theory, thermal properties of strings, explain the connection between the two and how they all tie together with the string/black hole transition.
