Diffraction plays an exceptional role in DIS off heavy nuclei. First, diffraction into hard dijets is an unique probe of the unintegrated glue in the target. Second, because diffraction makes 50 per cent of total DIS off a heavy target,…

Perron-Frobenius theory developed for irreducible non-negative kernels deals with so-called $R$-positive recurrent kernels. If kernel $M$ is $R$-positive recurrent, then the main result determines the limit of the scaled kernel iterations…
