Abstract

The infrared structure of Reggeon field theory is investigated using renormalization-group methods. The infrared fixed point where only the $ϕ^{3}$ interaction is nontrivial is shown to be stable with respect to all higher-order interactions within the context of perturbation theory both at $D = 2$ and in the $ε$ expansion. This may imply that the asymptotic behavior of the total cross section is model independent.
