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.

  1. Negative shocks versus static patch holography

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Out-of-time-order correlators along a de Sitter observer worldline, computed with the shockwave eikonal formalism including recoil and backreaction, violate the cyclicity and positivity required of a trace, falsifying...

  2. Black Hole Response Theory and its Exact Shockwave Limit

    hep-th 2026-04 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.

  3. Algebraic traversable wormholes

    hep-th 2025-08 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.
