Using the ``Quality Factor'' (QF) method, we analyse the scaling properties of deep-inelastic processes at HERA and fixed target experiments for x<0.01. We look for scaling formulae of the form sigma(tau), where tau(log Q^2, Y) is a scaling…

We observe that the saturation model of deep inelastic scattering, which successfully describes inclusive and diffractive data at small x, predicts a geometric scaling of the total gamma^* p cross section in the region of small Bjorken…
We show how one can obtain geometric scaling properties from the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. We start by explaining how, this property arises for the b-independent BK equation. We show that it is possible to extend this model to the…
DIS data from HERA show a striking regularity as \sigma^{\gamma^* p} is a function of the ratio \tau=Q^2/Q_s^2(x) only. The scaling function shows a break at \tau ~ 1, which has been taken as an indication for saturation. However, besides…
We devise a geometric description of bounded systems at criticality in any dimension $d$. This is achieved by altering the flat metric with a space dependent scale factor $\gamma(x)$, $x$ belonging to a general bounded domain $\Omega$.…

Geometric scaling is a novel scaling phenomenon observed in deep inelastic scattering at small x: the total virtual photon-proton cross section depends upon the two kinematical variables Q^2 and x only via their combination Q^2 R_0^2(x),…
We perform a detailed analysis on the scaling properties of the total $\gamma^*\mathrm{p}$ cross section, $\sigma_{\gamma^*\mathrm{p}}$. We write the cross section as a product of two functions $W$ and $V$ representing, respectively, the…
Berry phases and the quantum-information theoretic notion of fidelity have been recently used to analyze quantum phase transitions from a geometrical perspective. In this paper we unify these two approaches showing that the underlying…
We show that the evolution equations in QCD predict geometric scaling for quark and gluon distribution functions in a large kinematical window, which extends above the saturation scale up to momenta $Q^2$ of order $100 {\rm GeV}^2$. For…
This article gives a comprehensive description of the fractal geometry of conformally-invariant (CI) scaling curves, in the plane or half-plane. It focuses on deriving critical exponents associated with interacting random paths, by…
Scaling describes how a given quantity $Y$ that characterizes a system varies with its size $P$. For most complex systems it is of the form $Y\sim P^\beta$ with a nontrivial value of the exponent $\beta$, usually determined by regression…
An important problem in geometric quantization is that of quantizing certain classes of Lagrangian submanifolds, so-called Bohr-Sommerfeld Lagrangian submanifolds, equipped with a smooth half-density. A procedure for this in the complex…
The scaling properties at low $x$ of the proton DIS cross section and its charm component are analyzed with the help of the quality factor method. Scaling properties are tested both in the deep inelastic scattering data and in the structure…
We introduce a geometric scaling relation that characterizes the local scale behavior of correlations using the informational distance $d_E = K_0/\sqrt{I}$, where $I$ is the mutual information. We define a geometric conversion factor, $G…
The geometry of quantum states can be an indicator of criticality, yet it remains less explored under non-Hermitian topological conditions. In this work, we unveil diverse scalings of the quantum geometry over the ground state manifold…
It was shown via numerical simulations that geometric phase (GP) and fidelity susceptibility (FS) in some quantum models exhibit universal scaling laws across phase transition points. Here we propose a singular function expansion method to…
The high-energy evolution in perturbative QCD suffers from a severe lack-of-convergence problem, due to higher order corrections enhanced by double and single transverse logarithms. We resum double logarithms to all orders within the…
We propose that large quantum fluctuations of the conformal factor drastically modify classical general relativity at cosmological distance scales, resulting in a scale invariant phase of quantum gravity in the far infrared. We derive…
