High-energy scattering amplitudes in QCD: from Minkowskian to Euclidean space

We shall discuss about some analytic properties of the high-energy parton-parton (and hadron-hadron) scattering amplitudes in gauge theories, when going from Minkowskian to Euclidean theory, and we shall see how they can be related to the still unsolved problem of the s-dependence of the total cross-section.
