abstract

We give a systematic analysis of forward scattering in 3$+$1-dimensional quantum gravity, at center of mass energies comparable or larger than the Planck energy. We show that quantum gravitational effects in this kinematical regime are described by means of a topological field theory. We find that the scattering amplitudes display a universal behaviour very similar to two dimensional string amplitudes, thereby recovering results obtained previously by 't Hooft. Finally, we discuss the two-particle process in some detail.

Algebraic traversable wormholes

hep-th · 2025-08-18 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Proposes a new large N limit dual to back-reacted traversable wormholes via algebra-at-infinity operators and algebraically reproduces the Maldacena-Stanford-Yang result on left-right observer effects.

Black Hole Response Theory and its Exact Shockwave Limit

hep-th · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Black hole response theory in WQFT exactly reproduces the Aichelburg-Sexl shockwave metric, geodesics, and the transfer matrix for gravitational-wave scattering off it via post-Minkowskian resummation.
