We propose a modified Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation for the summation of large $\ln(1/x)$, $x$ being the Bjorken variable, which contains an extra dependence on momentum transfer $Q$ compared to the conventional BFKL…
High-energy behavior of amplitudes in a gauge theory can be reformulated in terms of the evolution of Wilson-line operators. In the leading logarithmic approximation it is given by the conformally invariant BK equation for the evolution of…

We study effects related to violation of energy-momentum conservation inherent to the BFKL approach, in the particular case of Mueller-Navelet jets production. We argue, based on the comparison of the lowest order non trivial corrections…
