Published as part of the series of Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics, this is an English translation of the lectures given by Gribov in 1969, when the physics of high-energy hadron interactions was emerging. It provides a rigorous introduction to the theory of complex angular momenta based on the methods of field theory. The approaches developed are useful for analysing high-energy hadron scattering in many contexts, including future analysis of electroweak processes at the Large Hadron Collider.
