Résumé |
I will review the eikonal exponentiation in the context of
high-energy, large impact parameter scatterings in gravitational theories.
This technique can be applied to different theories, from models of
gravitationally interacting compact objects to strings and D-branes. I
will show through various examples how this approach can be used to
uncover different physical phenomena, from conservative observables to
more complicated dissipative effects. I will conclude by highlighting some
long-standing open problems in this field that I think are of particular
conceptual interest. |
