In this paper we proposed the homotopy approach for solving the nonlinear Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) evolution equation with running QCD coupling. The approach consists of two steps. First, is the analytic solution to the nonlinear evolution…

Extending independently the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation to running coupling or to fluctuation effects due to Pomeron loops is known to lead in both cases to qualitative changes of the traveling-wave asymptotic solutions. In this paper…

We propose a general method to study the solutions to nonlinear QCD evolution equations, based on a deep analogy with the physics of traveling waves. In particular, we show that the transition to the saturation regime of high energy QCD is…

We consider modifications of the standard non-linear QCD evolution in an attempt to account for some of the missing ingredients discussed recently, such as correlations, discreteness in gluon emission and Pomeron loops. The evolution is…

``Geometric scaling'', i.e. the dependence of DIS cross-sections on the ratio Q/Q_S, where Q_S(Y) is the rapidity-dependent \saturation scale, can be theoretically obtained from universal ``traveling wave'' solutions of the nonlinear…

Using the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation as an explicit example, we show that nonlinear QCD evolution leads to an instability in the propagation toward the infrared of the gluon transverse momentum distribution, if one starts with a state…

This paper is the first attempt to build CGC/saturation model based on the next-to-leading order corrections to linear and non-linear evolution in QCD. We assume that the renormalization scale is the saturation momentum and found that the…

We solve the CCFM equation numerically in the presence of a boundary condition which effectively incorporates the non-linear dynamics. We retain the full dependence of the unintegrated gluon distribution on the coherence scale, and extract…

An extended collinearly-improved Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation in the target rapidity representation is derived by including the running coupling corrections during the expansion of the "real" $S$-matrix. We find that the running…

We study the growth and saturation of Krylov spread (K-) complexity under random quantum circuits. In Haar-random unitary evolution, we show that, for large system sizes, K-complexity grows linearly before saturating at a late-time value of…
