Past, Present, and Future Multi-Regge Theory

The connection of the unitary Critical Pomeron to QUD - a unique massless, infra-red fixed-point, left-handed SU(5) field theory that might provide an unconventional underlying unification for the Standard Model, is discussed in the context of developments in past, present, and future multi-regge theory. The QUD bound-state S-Matrix is accessible via elaborate (non-planar) multi-regge theory. Standard Model states and interactions are replicated via massless fermion anomaly dynamics in which configurations of infra-red divergent anomalous gauge boson reggeons play a wee parton vacuum-like role. All particles, including neutrinos, are bound-states with dynamical masses and there is no Higgs field. A color sextet quark sector, that could be discovered at the LHC, produces both Dark Matter and Electroweak Symmetry Breaking and the very small QUD coupling should be reflected in the smallness of neutrino masses. The origin of the Standard Model could be that it is reproducing the unique, unitary, S-Matrix.
