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…
We investigate the basic features of the gluon density predicted by a renormalisation group improved small-x equation which incorporates both the gluon splitting function at leading collinear level and the exact BFKL kernel at…
It has been observed recently that a consistent LO BFKL gluon evolution leads to a steep growth of F_2(x,Q^2) for x -> 0 almost independently of Q^2. We show that current data from the DESY HERA collider are precise enough to finally rule…
In the present note we propose a shift of the anomalous dimension function of the eigenfunctions of the BFKL equation with the NLO running coupling corrections. The calculated eigenvalue of the modified equation turns out to be conformal…
Solving the BKP equation and comparing with the structure function of hadron for deep inelastic scattering processes we are able to find a relation between reggeized N-gluon states and anomalous dimensions of QCD. To this end we perform…
We discuss the BFKL equation with a running gauge coupling and identify in its solutions the contributions originating from different transverse momentum scales. We show that for a running coupling constant the distribution of the gluons…
I discuss and review soft anomalous dimensions in QCD that describe soft-gluon threshold resummation for a wide range of hard-scattering processes. The factorization properties of the cross section in moment space and renormalization-group…
Hard scattering processes involving hadrons at small $x$ are described by a $k_T$-factorization formula driven by a BFKL gluon. We explore the equivalence of this description to a collinear-factorization approach in which the anomalous…
We extend the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^5)$ result of the analytic calculation of the quark mass anomalous dimension in pQCD [1] to the case of a generic gauge group. We present explicit formulas which express the relevant renormalization…
Using the QCD dipole picture of the hard BFKL Pomeron, we perform a 3 parameter fit analysis of the recent inclusive structure function experimental measurements at small-$x$ and intermediate $Q^2$. As a byproduct, the longitudinal…
We present calculations of the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), concentrating on small x. After discussing the standard expansion of the structure functions in powers of \alpha_s(Q^2) we consider a leading-order expansion in…
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…
By considering the scaling behaviour of various Feynman graphs at leading order in large $\Nf$ at the non-trivial fixed point of the $d$-dimensional $\beta$-function of QCD we deduce the critical exponents corresponding to the quark, gluon…
Renormalization constants for multiplicatively renormalizable parity-odd four-fermion operators are computed in various different Schroedinger Functional (SF) schemes and lattice regularizations with Wilson quarks at one-loop order in…
In this lecture the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the QCD Pomeron intercept obtained from the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation are discussed. It is shown that the BFKL Pomeron intercept when evaluated in…
We use the BLM procedure to eliminate the renormalization scale ambiguity in the evolution equation for the non-singlet deep-inelastic structure function $F_2^{\text NS}(x,Q).$ The scale of the QCD coupling in the $\overline{\text{MS}}$…
Physical anomalous dimensions are a formulation of the DGLAP evolution of Deep Inelastic structure functions which is independent of factorization scheme and -scale. In this proceedings we provide an outlook on possible applications, in…
Following Feynman's successful treatment of the polaron problem we apply the same variational principle to quenched QED in the worldline formulation. New features arise from the description of fermions by Grassmann trajectories, the…
We present consistently ordered calculations of the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), in different expansion schemes. After discussing the standard expansion in powers of alpha_s(Q^2) we consider a leading-order expansion in…
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|.…
