Description
We discuss conformal Pomeron and Odderon using AdS/CFT, or,
equivalently, Pomeron and Odderon in N = 4 SYM, in strong
coupling. We explore the relation between the
'Basso-expansion' and the Delta-j curve at strong coupling,
and we demonstrate how it can be applied to other Regge
intercepts in addition to Pomeron. In particular, we focus
on 'Odderons' which are the leading crossing-odd, C = -1,
Regge singularities. From the perspective of AdS/CFT, while
Pomeron can be identified with a Reggeized Graviton,
Odderons correspond to Reggeized anti-symmetric AdS5
Kalb-Ramond tensor-fields. We identify the class of
single-trace operators to which the string modes couple to
and discuss their anomalous dimension curves. This
information is the applied to calculate the Odderon
intercept beyond leading order.
