The color mixing of mesons propagating in a nucleus is studied with the help of a color-octet Pomeron partner present in the two-gluon model of the Pomeron. For a simple model with four meson-nucleon channels, color mixings are found to be…
A construction of hexagon relations - algebraic realizations of four-dimensional Pachner moves - is proposed. It goes in terms of "permitted colorings" of 3-faces of pentachora (4-simplices), and its main feature is that the set of…
The Hartree-Fock approximation is applied to study the "high-colour pomerons" in the system of many reggeized gluons with a running QCD coupling constant. It is shown that, contrary to the fixed coupling case, the high-colour pomerons…
Forward-backward correlation in pp collisions is studied in an approach that emphasizes the partonic scattering angles and circumvents the intractable problem related to the transverse momenta that are low. Assuming the back-to-back…
The high-energy behavior of the N=4 SYM amplitudes in the Regge limit can be calculated order by order in perturbation theory using the high-energy operator expansion in Wilson lines. At large $N_c$, a typical four-point amplitude is…
Using the asymptotic conformal invariance of perturbative QCD we derive the expression of the coupling of external states to all conformal spin-p components of the forward elastic amplitude. Using the wave-function formalism for structure…
We discuss the beam-energy dependence of ratios of the first four cumulants of the net-proton number, calculated using a phenomenologically motivated model in which critical mode fluctuations couple to protons and anti-protons. The model…
We present an analysis of the role of the running coupling constant at the intersection of perturbative and nonperturbative QCD. Although the approaches that have been considered so far in these two regimes appear to be complementary to…
`Soft' high-energy interactions are clearly important in pp collisions. Indeed, these events are dominant by many orders of magnitude, and about 40% are of diffractive origin; that is, due to elastic scattering or proton dissociation.…
Within QCD reggeon field theory we study the formation of two subsequent triple pomeron vertices in the process P$\to$PP$\to$PPP. We make use of an earlier investigation ~\cite{Bartels:1999aw} of the six-reggeon amplitude in deep inelastic…
We compute the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the correlators of nucleon interpolating currents in relativistic nuclear matter. The main new result is the calculation of the O(alpha_s) perturbative corrections to the…
We compute the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the partonic reaction that dominates top-pair production at the Tevatron. This is the first ever NNLO calculation of an observable with more than two colored partons,…
The character of motion for the three-dimensional circular restricted three-body problem with oblate primaries is investigated. The orbits of the test particle are classified into four types: non-escaping regular orbits around the…
Within the framework of the semiclassical approximation, we derive the Boltzmann equation describing the dynamics of colorless plasmons in a hot QCD plasma. The probability of the plasmon-plasmon scattering at the leading order in the…
{\narrower\smallskip High Energy onium-onium scattering is calculated as a function of impact parameter in the one and two pomeron exchange approximation. Difficulties with using the multiple scattering series to unitarize single pomeron…
In this paper we construct a model that satisfies the theoretical requisites of high energy soft interactions, based on two ingredients:(i) the results of N=4 SYM, which at present is a unique theory that allows one to deal with a large…
The Clifford pentads of the 4X4 complex matrices define the current vectors of the particles. The weak isospin transformation divides the particles on two components, which scatter in the 2-dimensional antidiagonal Clifford matrices space.…

Collider experiments have recently measured the production cross section of hard jets separated by a rapidity gap as a function of transverse momentum and gap size. We show that these measurements reveal the relative frequencies for the…
The equation for two reggeized gluons with a running QCD coupling constant, proposed earlier on the basis of the bootstrap condition, is investigated by the variational technique in the vacuum channel. The pomeron intercept and slope are…
