We present a small x resummation for the GLAP anomalous dimension and its corresponding dual BFKL kernel, which includes all the available perturbative information and nonperturbative constraints. Specifically, it includes all the…
We discuss the inclusion of running coupling effects in perturbative small x evolution equations. We show that a running coupling BFKL-like x-evolution equation is fully compatible, up to higher twist corrections, with the standard…

We present a systematic formalism for the derivation of the kernel of the BFKL equation from that of the GLAP equation and conversely to any given order, with full inclusion of the running of the coupling. The running coupling is treated as…
I calculate the anomalous dimension governing the Q^2 evolution of the gluon (and structure functions) coming from the running coupling BFKL equation. This may be expressed in an exact analytic form, up to a small ultraviolet renormalon…

The proton structure function F2 is studied in the low x regime using BFKL evolution. The next to leading logarithmic (NLL) analysis requires the inclusion of running coupling effects which lead to off-diagonal terms in the evolution…
We investigate the consistency requirements of the next-to leading BFKL equation with the renormalization group, with particular emphasis on running coupling effects and NL anomalous dimensions. We show that, despite some model dependence…
I review recent results by Fadin,Lipatov and collaborators and by our group,leading to the almost complete calculation of the next-to-leading BFKL kernel,of its eigenvalues,and of the resummed gluon anomalous dimension. Qualitative…
We show how perturbation theory may be reorganized to give splitting functions which include order by order convergent sums of all leading logarithms of $x$. This gives a leading twist evolution equation for parton distributions which sums…
Deep inelastic processes at small x are discussed in the framework of perturbative QCD at high energy. New results are presented on the quark anomalous dimensions beyond the leading logarithmic approximation, and their relevance to the…
We propose a modified Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov equation from the viewpoint of the resummation technique, which contains an intrinsic dependence on momentum transfer Q, and satisfies the unitarity bound. The idea is to relax the strong…
We search for deviations from next-to-leading order QCD evolution in HERA structure function data. We compare to data predictions for structure functions in the small x region, obtained by evolving backwards to low Q^2 the results of a…
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…
A simple ansatz is suggested for the structure of threshold resummation of the momentum space physical evolution kernels (`physical anomalous dimensions') at all orders in (1-x), taking as examples Deep Inelastic Scattering (F_2(x, Q^2) and…
We derive the DGLAP and BFKL evolution equations in the N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory in the next-to-leading approximation. The eigenvalue of the BFKL kernel in this model turns out to be an analytic function of the conformal spin |n|.…
We examine critically the evidence for deviations from next-to-leading order perturbative DGLAP evolution in HERA data. We briefly review the status of perturbative small-x resummation and of global determinations of parton distributions.…
We propose an improvement of the splitting functions at small x which overcomes the apparent problems encountered by the BFKL approach. We obtain a stable expansion for the x-evolution function chi(M) near M=0 by including in it a sequence…
The impact of the resummed next-to-leading logarithmic small-$x$ contributions to the anomalous dimension $\gamma_{gg}$ is evaluated for the unpolarized parton densities and structure functions of the nucleon. These new terms diminish the…
