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…

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…
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.
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 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…
We show that the forward-jet measurements performed at HERA allow for a detailed study of corrections due to next-to-leading logarithms (NLL) in the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) approach. While the description of the d\sigma/dx data…
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 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 report on the first next-to-leading BFKL study of the cross section and azimuthal decorrellation of Mueller Navelet jets. This includes next-to-leading corrections to the Green's function as well as next-to-leading corrections to the…
The next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the BFKL equation in the BLM optimal scale setting are briefly discussed. A striking feature of the BLM approach is rather weak Q^2-dependence of the Pomeron intercept, which might indicate an…
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…
We discuss, within the context of first order perturbation theory, the correction to the NLO BFKL wavefuncyion for scattering processes with non-zero momentum transfer, arising from the fact that in NLO the kernel is not covariant under…

Recent concerns about the very large next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) corrections to the BFKL equation are addressed by the introduction of a physical rapidity-separation parameter $\Delta$. At the leading logarithm (LL) this parameter…

We derive the solution of the NLO BFKL equation by constructing its eigenfunctions perturbatively, using an expansion around the LO BFKL (conformal) eigenfunctions. This method can be used to construct a solution of the BFKL equation with…
The ``non-Abelian'' part of the quark contribution to the BFKL kernel in the next-to-leading order (NLO) is found in the coordinate representation by direct transfer of the contribution from the momentum representation where it was…
