High-energy evolution equations, such as the BFKL, BK or JIMWLK equations, aim at resumming the high-energy (next-to-)leading logarithms appearing in QCD perturbative series. However, the standard derivations of those equations are…

We show that the Politzer theorem on the equations of motion implies approximate constraints on the quark correlator, restricting considerably, for sufficiently large Q^2, the number of independent distribution functions that characterize…
We develop a simplified method for obtaining higher orders in the perturbative expansion of the singular term A(\alpha_s)/[1-x]_+ of non-singlet partonic splitting functions. Our method is based on the calculation of eikonal diagrams. The…

We investigate the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) equation for a non conserved order parameter on an infinitely ramified (deterministic) fractal lattice employing two alternative methods: the auxiliary field approach and a numerical…
We discuss bounds on the distribution and fragmentation functions that appear at leading order in deep inelastic 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction or in Drell-Yan processes. These bounds simply follow from positivity of the quark-hadron…
We derive an equation determining the small-x evolution of the F_2 structure function of a large nucleus which includes all multiple pomeron exchanges in the leading logarithmic approximation using Mueller's dipole model. We show that in…
We compute the leading-order evolution of parton fragmentation functions for all the Standard Model fermions and bosons up to energies far above the electroweak scale, where electroweak symmetry is restored. We discuss the difference…
Anomalous coarsening in far-from equilibrium one-dimensional systems is investigated by simulation and analytic techniques. The minimal hard core particle (exclusion) models contain mechanisms of aggregated particle diffusion, with rates…
The Balitskii-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) and the Gribov-Lipatov- Dokshitzer-Altarelli-Parisi (GLDAP) evolution equations for the diffractive deep inelastic scattering at ${1\over x} \gg 1$ are shown to have a common solution in the weak…
The electromagnetic contribution to the isomultiplet mass splittings of heavy mesons is reanalyzed within the framework of the heavy mass expansion. It is shown that the leading term in the expansion is given to a good approximation by the…
