The scale-invariant $O(g^4)$ Lipatov kernel has been determined by t-channel unitarity. The forward kernel responsible for parton evolution is evaluated and its eigenvalue spectrum determined. In addition to a logarithmic modification of…
We summarize recent work on the evaluation of the scale invariant next-to-leading order Lipatov kernel, constructed via transverse momentum diagrams. At zero momentum transfer the square of the leading-order kernel appears together with an…
Using reggeon diagrams as a partial implementation of $t$-channel unitarity, $O(g^4)$ corrections to the BFKL evolution equation have been obtained. We describe the spectrum and holomorphic factorization properties of the resulting…
The Lipatov equation can regarded as a reggeon Bethe-Salpeter equation in which higher-order reggeon interactions give higher-order kernels. Infra-red singular contributions in a general kernel are produced by t-channel nonsense states and…
We present the BFKL equation as a reggeon Bethe-Salpeter equation and discuss the use of reggeon diagrams to obtain 2-2 and 2-4 reggeon interactions at $O(g^4)$. We then outline the dispersion theory basis of multiparticle $j$-plane…
It is shown that in the case of the forward scattering the most part of the difference between the M\"obius form of the BFKL kernel and the BK kernel in the next-to-leading order (NLO) can be eliminated by the transformation related to the…
We show that a scale invariant approximation to the next-to-leading order BFKL kernel, constructed via transverse momentum diagrams, has a simple conformally invariant representation in impact parameter space i.e. K(r1,r2,r1',r2') = g^4 N^2…
The forward BFKL equation is discretised in virtuality space and it is shown that the diffusion into infrared and ultraviolet momenta can be understood in terms of a semi-infinite matrix. The square truncation of this matrix can be…
In a non-abelian gauge theory the $t$-channel multiparticle unitarity equations continued in the complex j-plane can be systematically expanded around $j=1$. The combination of Ward identity constraints with unitarity is sufficient to…
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…
Scaling properties of the quantum Hall metal-insulator transition are severely affected by finite size effects in small systems. Surprisingly, despite the narrow spatial range where probability structure functions exhibit multifractal…
Unitarity corrections to the BFKL evolution at next to leading order determine a new component of the evolution kernel which is shown to possess conformal invariance properties. Expressions for the complete spectrum of the new component and…
On the basis of previous work by Fadin, Lipatov, and collaborators, and of our group, we extract the "irreducible" part of the next-to-leading (NL) BFKL kernel, we compute its (IR finite) eigenvalue function, and we discuss its implications…
The kernel of the BFKL equation for non-zero momentum transfer is found at next-to-leading order. It is presented in various forms depending on the regularization of the infrared singularities in "virtual" and "real" parts of the kernel.…
I examine the solution of the BFKL equation with NLO corrections relevant for deep inelastic scattering. Particular emphasis is placed on the part played by the running of the coupling. It is shown that the solution factorizes into a part…
The modified evolution equation for parton distributions of Dokshitzer, Marchesini and Salam is extended to non-singlet Deep Inelastic Scattering coefficient functions and the physical evolution kernels which govern their scaling violation.…

A computer study is performed to estimate the influence of the small-$k_T$ region in the BFKL evolution equation. We consider the small-x region of the deep inelastic structure function $F_2$ and show that the magnitude of the small-$k_T$…
Size-invariant shape transformation is a technique of changing the shape of a domain while preserving its sizes under the Lebesgue measure. In quantum confined systems, this transformation leads to so-called quantum shape effects in the…
Let $F$ be a number field, let $\mathbb{A}_F$ be its ring of adeles, and let $g_1,g_2,h_1,h_2 \in \mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_F)$. Previously the author provided an absolutely convergent geometric expression for the four variable kernel…
