The consistency of the BFKL equation with the renormalization group is investigated at next-to-leading log-x level.By use of Kt-factorization, it is found that,besides next-to-leading small-x resummation formulae, a leading, x-dependent…
Selected aspects of the theory and phenomenology of production of forward jets at the LHC and RHIC are overviewed. In the theory part we discuss basics of frameworks originating from the BFKL dynamics while in the phenomenology part we…
We discuss a residual freedom of the next-to-leading BFKL eigenvalue that originates from ambiguity in redistributing the next-to-leading~(NLO) corrections between the adjoint BFKL eigenvalue and eigenfunctions in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$…
There is ample evidence, dating as far back as Low's theorem, that the universality of soft emissions extends beyond leading power in the soft energy. This universality can, in principle, be exploited to generalise the formalism of…
For processes involving structure functions and/or fragmentation functions, arguments that, over a range of a proper kinematic variable, there is a part that dominates the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections are briefly reviewed. The…
By taking the high-energy limit of the two-loop and the three-loop four-point amplitudes in the maximally supersymmetric N=4 Yang-Mill theory (MSYM), we test the validity of the loop expansion of the high-energy amplitude, beyond the…
We calculate the quark-anti-quark contribution to the next-to-leading logarithmic corrections to the BFKL kernel, retaining the dependence on the momenta of the produced particles. This allows us to study the details of the NLL corrections.…
We discuss recent progress concerning the resummation of large logarithms at next-to-leading power (NLP) in scattering processes near threshold. We begin by briefly reviewing the diagrammatic and SCET approach, which are used to derive…
The highlights of the Working Group 5B, Theory, are summarised. There has been reported impressive progresses in the study of BFKL Pomeron and Odderon dynamics. It turns out that the leading log approximation is not still a good one in the…
Mueller Navelet jets were proposed 25 years ago as a decisive test of BFKL dynamics at hadron colliders. We here present the first next-to-leading BFKL study of the cross section and azimuthal decorrelation of these jets. This includes both…
In this talk I report on recent developments and results relevant for LHC phenomenology at next-to-leading order QCD. Feynman diagrammatic and unitarity based methods have both seen considerable improvements and new ideas recently. Current…
In this paper we investigate the effect of introducing transverse momentum cutoffs on the BFKL equation. We present solutions in moment space for various models of the BFKL kernel for different combinations of these cutoffs. We improve on…
Two relevant points related to the application of the BFKL formalism to phenomenology are discussed. First, we have presented a set of observables characterizing multi-jet configurations event by event (average transverse momentum, average…
I give a brief presentation of recent results on the equivalence of BFKL and CCFM small-x final states, and discuss their implications for phenomenology.
Cyclotomic polylogarithms are reviewed and new results concerning the special constants that occur are presented. This also allows some comments on previous literature results using PSLQ.
The BFKL dynamics can be successfully tested at the future high energy $e^+e^-$ linear collider. The total $\gamma^*\gamma^*$ cross-section is calculated in the Leading Log QCD dipole picture of BFKL dynamics, and compared with the one from…
Incorporating all recent theoretical advances, we resum soft-gluon corrections to the total $t\bar t$ cross-section at hadron colliders at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) order. We perform the resummation in the well…
In this lecture the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the QCD Pomeron intercept obtained from the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation are discussed. It is shown that the BFKL Pomeron intercept when evaluated in…
In this thesis, we develop resummation algorithms suitable for perturbative QCD. In the first part, we propose a resummation technique applicable to the Regge limit. We develop a new systematic procedure for this limit in perturbative QCD…
I report on the recent proposal of a generalized small-x equation which, in addition to exact leading and next-to-leading BFKL kernels, incorporates renormalization group constraints in the relevant collinear limits.
