It is demonstrated that the NLO forward BFKL equation can be solved in the space of its Born eigenfunctions.
In the high-energy limit, we compute the gauge-invariant three-parton forward clusters, which in the BFKL theory constitute the tree parts of the NNLO impact factors. In the triple collinear limit, we obtain the polarized double-splitting…
In this paper we introduce the confinement into the kernel of the BFKL equation,assuming that the sizes of produced dipoles cannot be large. The goal of this paper is to find how this assumption, which leads to a correct exponential…
We show that a scale invariant approximation to the next-to-leading order BFKL kernel, constructed via transverse momentum diagrams, has a simple conformally invariant representation in impact parameter space i.e. K(r1,r2,r1',r2') = g^4 N^2…
Representation of non-forward scattering amplitudes in the BFKL approach is discussed and the results obtained in the next-to leading order are briefly reviewed.
We propose a modified version of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (B-K) evolution equation, which includes the main NLO corrections. We use the result that the main NLO corrections to the BFKL kernel are the LO DGLAP corrections. We present a…
We discuss, within the context of first order perturbation theory, the correction to the NLO BFKL wavefuncyion for scattering processes with non-zero momentum transfer, arising from the fact that in NLO the kernel is not covariant under…
Unitarity corrections to the BFKL evolution at next to leading order determine a new component of the evolution kernel which is shown to possess conformal invariance properties. Expressions for the complete spectrum of the new component and…

The BFKL fan diagram equation for the scattering on the nucleus is solved numerically with the eikonalized initial condition and for a realistic nuclear density. The gluon density has a soliton-like form in the $\log q - y$ space. Inclusive…
A simple solution to the BFKL equation is obtained as a series in the number of real gluons emitted with transverse momentum greater than some small cutoff $\mu$. This solution reveals physics inside the BFKL ladder which is hidden in the…
The ${\cal O} (\alpha^3)$ leading logarithmic contribution to the QED radiator in the additive form is considered. The effect of the correction on two-fermion physics at LEP1 and LEP2 is evaluated and critically compared with the one of…
We propose a phenomenological study of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach applied to the data on the proton structure function $F_2$ measured at HERA in the small-$x_{Bj}$ region ($x_{Bj}<0.01$) and $Q^2$ in the range 5 to…
The proton structure function F2 is studied in the low x regime using BFKL evolution. The next to leading logarithmic (NLL) analysis requires the inclusion of running coupling effects which lead to off-diagonal terms in the evolution…
Different forms of the BFKL kernel both in coordinate and momentum representations may appear as a result of different gauge choices and/or inner scalar products of the color singlet states. We study a spectral representation of the BFKL…
The high-energy behaviour of the total cross section for highly virtual photons, as predicted by the BFKL equation at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD, is presented. The NLO BFKL predictions, improved by the BLM optimal scale setting, are…
We present the results of the $\chi$-BS(3) approach demonstrating that a combined chiral and 1/N_c expansion of the Bethe-Salpeter interaction kernel leads to a good description of the kaon-nucleon, antikaon-nucleon and pion-nucleon…
Perturbative O(alpha_s^2) corrections to BR(B -> Xs gamma) in the BLM approximation receive contributions from two-, three- and four-body final states. While all the two-body results are well established by now, the other ones have remained…
Exclusive rare decays mediated by $b\to s\ell\ell$ transitions receive contributions from four-quark operators that cannot be naively expressed in terms of local form factors. Instead, one needs to calculate a matrix element of a bilocal…
We give an explicit integral formula for the Dunkl kernel associated to root system of type $A_2$ and parameter $k>0$, by exploiting recent result in [1].
