V. Summary and Outlook Provide meaning for Pomeron/Odderon, etc., non-perturbatively from first principles. Realization of conformal invariance beyond perturbative QCD New starting point for unitarization, saturation, etc. Phenomenological consequences.
Gauge/String Dual: Confinement Deformation Use models to provide concrete mathematical realization of Gauge/ String for QCD For simplicity, mostly use Hard- Wall Model Identify model independent features.
