This boundary action describes the interaction of shock-waves up to the point of evolution at which the forward light-cone of a collision meets the boundary of the space-time. The conclusions are quite general and in particular generalize the previous work of E. and H. Verlinde. The role of the off-diagonal Einstein action in removing the bulk part of the action is emphasised. We discuss the sense in which our result is a particular example of holography and also the relation of our solutions in $AdS$ to those of Horowitz and Itzhaki. dc.publisher IOP Publishing dc.title Boundary description of Planckian scattering in curved spacetimes dc.type Article prism.number 035 prism.publicationName Journal of High Energy Physics prism.volume JHEP07 dc.identifier.doi 10.17863/CAM.22090 dcterms.dateAccepted 2001-07-24 rioxxterms.versionofrecord 10.1088/1126-6708/2001/07/035 rioxxterms.version AM rioxxterms.licenseref.uri http://www.rioxx.net/licenses/all-rights-reserved rioxxterms.licenseref.startdate 2001-07-24 dc.identifier.eissn 1029-8479 dc.publisher.url http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2001/07/035 rioxxterms.type Journal Article/Review cam.issuedOnline 2001-08-03 dc.identifier.url http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1126-6708/2001/07/035 rioxxterms.freetoread.startdate 2002-08-03
