An asymptotic solution of Large-N QCD, for the glueball and meson spectrum and the collinear S-matrix

Employing a new class of string theories we construct a family of S -matrix amplitudes that factorize over linear Regge trajectories, and that are good candidates to be asymptotically free, i.e. to lead to asymptotically-free correlation functions working out the LS Z formulae the other way around. In particular, we propose a candidate for a string solution of QCD with NF massless quarks in the large-N ’t Hooft limit, for the glueball and meson spectrum, and for certain S-matrix amplitudes in the collinear limit. The solution extends to massive quarks of equal mass.
