Chirality Violation in the QCD High-Energy S-Matrix

In a previous paper it has been shown that the infra-red divergence associated with the triangle graph axial anomaly can occur in triple-regge multi-reggeon interactions due to unphysical asymptotic triple discontinuities. In this paper an asymptotic discontinuity analysis is applied to high-order feynman diagrams to show that the anomaly exists in contributions to the triple-regge nine-reggeon interaction. This implies that the anomaly occurs in the interactions of reggeon states that have the quantum numbers of the anomaly current and establishes a direct connection with the well-known U(1) problem.
