A multi-pomeron model with zeros in the couplings

The violation of the Froissart bound resulting from repeated exchanges of pomerons in a multi-Regge model is avoided by assuming that some pomeron couplings vanish. The couplings can be chosen such that an input pomeron can produce an output pole coinciding with the input pomeron, and a two-pomeron cut. The main aim is to show that the structure of pomeron couplings can play an important role in calculations involving many pomerons
