The multi-Regge effective action is derived directly from the linearized gravity action. After excluding the redundant field components we separate the fields into momentum modes and integrate over modes which correspond neither to the…
We construct the effective Lagrangian describing QCD in the multi-Regge kinematics. It is obtained from the original QCD Lagrangian by eliminating modes of gluon and quark fields not appearing in this underlying kinematics.

This thesis comprises two investigations, both connected with the attempt to understand Regge theory in the framework of QCD. The first is about how the odderon, a Reggeon carrying no charge which is odd under charge conjugation, couples to…
We develop a formalism where the hard and soft pomeron contributions to high energy scattering arise as leading Regge poles of a single kernel in holographic QCD. The kernel is obtained using effective field theory inspired by Regge theory…
We review Lipatov's high energy effective action and show that it is a useful computational tool to calculate scattering amplitudes in (quasi)-multi-Regge kinematics. We explain in some detail our recent work where a novel regularization…

Through the application of the thermal operator to the zero temperature retarded Green's functions, we derive in a simple way the well known hard thermal effective action in QCD. By relating these functions to forward scattering amplitudes…
