Classical vs quantum eikonal scattering and its causal structure

Abstract We study the eikonal scattering of two gravitationally interacting bodies, in the regime of large angular momentum and large center of mass energy. We show that eikonal exponentiation of the scattering phase matrix is a direct consequence of the group contraction SU(2) → ISO(2), from rotati...
