I discuss the calculation of the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) corrections to the BFKL resummation, as well as some of the issues that arise in this formalism at NLL. In particular I consider the large size and apparent instability of…
Of late, the field of BFKL physics has been the subject of significant developments. The calculation of the NLL terms was recently completed, and they turned out to be very large. Techniques have been proposed to resum these corrections.…
The initial analyses of the next-to-leading logarithmic corrections to the BFKL kernel were very discouraging. Encouraged by the success of new methods in the analysis of the BFKL equation at full NLL accuracy we demonstrate in this talk…
The BFKL resummation at LL and NLL accuracy is briefly reviewed, with particular emphasis on the connection between the NLL corrections to the BFKL equation and exact NNLO calculations.
We present recent phenomenological studies, tailored on kinematic configurations typical of current and forthcoming analyses at the LHC, for two novel probe channels of the BFKL resummation of energy logarithms. Particular attention is…
Peculiar properties of the BFKL approach in the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic approximation (NNLLA) are discussed. In this approximation the scheme of derivation of the BFKL equation must be changed because of violation of the simple…
This talk summarises the current status of the NLL corrections to BFKL physics and discusses the question of small-x factorisation.
Using the helicity formalism in the high-energy limit, we compute the amplitudes which generate the real next-to-leading-logarithmic corrections to the BFKL equation. Accordingly, we provide a list of all the off-shell vertices necessary to…
The high energy limit of scattering processes in QCD is, at least on the purely theoretical level, described by the BFKL equation. However, many phenomenological studies of BFKL fail miserably when confronted with data. In this talk we will…
We discuss how the multi-Regge factorisation of QCD amplitudes can be used in the study of multi-jet processes at colliders. We describe how the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) BFKL evolution can be combined with energy and momentum…
I review the recent progress in small $x$ physics, concentrating on the topics relevant to the BFKL evolution.
The NLL corrections to the BFKL kernel are known to be very large, to the extent that even for small values of alpha_s, they lead to physical cross sections which are not positive definite. It is shown in the context of a toy model, that…
Some outstanding issues in high energy scattering are discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on recent developments concerning the next-to-leading log corrections to the BFKL equation.
Progress in the understanding of the BFKL approach in the NLL approximation is reported. The study based on the iteration of the kernel using the exponentiation of the gluon Regge trajectory is reviewed in QCD and N=4 super Yang-Mills…
A study of differential cross sections and azimuthal observables for semi-hard processes at LHC energies, including BFKL resummation effects, is presented. Particular attention has been paid to the behaviour of the azimuthal correlation…
As a 30th anniversary tribute, I discuss the present and possible future impact of the physics and the physicists of BFKL.
We present a new method for solving the BFKL evolution applicable at both leading and next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, and tailored to the study of QCD multi-jet events at colliders. We utilise this to discuss corrections to the…

We discuss the high energy asymptotics in the next-to-leading (NLO) BFKL equation. We find a general solution for Green functions and consider two properties of the NLO BFKL kernel: running QCD coupling and large NLO corrections to the…
