A quantization of (2 + 1)-gravity related to high-energy Yang-Mills theory

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We point out that canonical quantization of the two-body problem in (2 + 1)-gravity is related to the high-energy equation in Yang-Mills theory by a proper ordering of the relevant operators. This feature arises from expanding the Hamiltonian around its conformal limit - or treating running coupling effects in the Yang-Mills case - and yields a peculiar short distance behaviour of the wave functions.
