Non Abelian $q\bar{q}$ contributions to small-$x$ anomalous dimensions

Abstract

By using \k\k-factorization, we derive resummation formulas for the non-abelian qqˉq\bar{q} contributions to both heavy flavour production by gluon fusion, and to the next-to-leading BFKL kernel. By combining this result with previous ones by Fadin et al. on the virtual terms, we also compute in closed form the complete qqˉq\bar{q} contribution to the gluon anomalous dimension in the Q0Q_0-scheme. We find that qqˉq\bar{q} resummation effects are important for heavy flavour production, but are instead small in the anomalous dimension eigenvalues, because of a cancellation between abelian and non abelian contributions.
