We show that the area-law behavior of asymptotically large Wilson loops is dual to the Regge-Veneziano behavior of scattering amplitudes at high energies and fixed momentum transfer, when quark mass is small and/or the number of particles is large. We elaborate on this duality for string theory in a flat space, identifying the asymptotes of the disk amplitude and the Wilson loop of large-N QCD.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2009-01-27T11:09:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.25.Tq", "12.38.Aw" ], "keywords": [ "scattering amplitudes", "implementation", "asymptotically large wilson loops", "flat space", "area-law behavior" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Feb", "volume": 102, "number": 7, "pages": "071602" }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 800644, "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102g1602M" } } }
