It is shown that in the case of the forward scattering the most part of the difference between the M\"obius form of the BFKL kernel and the BK kernel in the next-to-leading order (NLO) can be eliminated by the transformation related to the…
We argue that the use of the universal unintegrated gluon distribution and the $k_T$ (or high energy) factorization theorem provides the natural framework for describing observables at small x. We introduce a coupled pair of evolution…
