It is shown that the kernel of the BFKL equation for the octet color state of two Reggeized gluons satisfies the strong bootstrap condition in the next-to-leading order. This condition is much more restrictive than the one obtained from the…

We calculate in the next-to-leading approximation the non-forward gluon impact factors for arbitrary color state in the $t$-channel. In the case of the octet state we check the so-called "second bootstrap condition" for the gluon…
The bootstrap condition is generalized to $n$ reggeized gluons. As a result it is demonstrated that the intercept generated by $n$ reggeized gluons cannot be lower than the one for $n=2$. Arguments are presented that in the limit…

Compatibility of the Reggeized form of QCD multi-particle amplitudes with the s-channel unitarity requires fulfilment of an infinite number of the "bootstrap" relations. On the other hand, it turns out that fulfillment of all these…
We calculate the quark part of the kernel of the generalized non-forward BFKL equation at non-zero momentum transfer $t$ in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. Along with the quark contribution to the gluon Regge trajectory, this…
Using the results recently obtained for the non-forward quark and gluon impact factors, it is shown that their form in the gluon colour channel is consistent with the ``third bootstrap condition'', namely, that they should be proportional…
