We study various corrections of correlation functions to leading order in conformal perturbation theory, both on the cylinder and on the plane. Many problems on the cylinder are mathematically equivalent to those in the plane if we give the…
In this paper we study some questions in connection with uniform rectifiability and the $L^2$ boundedness of Calderon-Zygmund operators. We show that uniform rectifiability can be characterized in terms of some new adimensional coefficients…
We perform a NLO QCD analysis of deep-inelastic scattering data, in which we account for absorptive corrections. These corrections are determined from a simultaneous analysis of diffractive deep-inelastic data. The absorptive effects are…
QCD sum rules for the nucleon are considered in complex q^2 plane with inclusion of the radiative corrections of the order alpha_s. It is shown that the radiative corrections affect mainly the residue lambda^2 of the nucleon pole. Their…
We calculate and resum a perturbative expansion of nuclear enhanced power corrections to the structure functions measured in deeply inelastic scattering of leptons on a nuclear target. Our results for the Bjorken $x$-, $Q^2$- and…
The longitudinal structure function in deep inelastic scattering is one of the observables from which the gluon distribution can be unfolded. Consequently, this observable can be used to constrain the QCD dynamics at small $x$. In this work…
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…

We perform a global fit to the structure function F_2 measured in lepton-proton experiments at small values of Bjorken-x, x\le 0.01, for all experimentally available values of Q^2, 0.045 GeV^2\le Q^2 \le 800 GeV^2. We show that the recent…
We discuss the motivation for making predictions for jet cross sections at next-to-next-to-leading order. We describe the theoretical ingredients needed for such a calculation and briefly review the progress in the field.
The behavior of the gluon distribution function and the reduced cross section considered from the proton structure function and its derivatives at low values of $x$. These behaviors studied and compared with the experimental data. These…
We present a brief overview of fractional analytic QCD, basically following the results recently obtained in Refs. [1,2].
We study the semiclassical behaviour of a two--dimensional nonintegrable system. In particular we analyze the question of quantum corrections to the semiclassical quantization obtaining up to the second order of perturbation theory an…
We revisit a family of integrals that delude intuition, and that recently appeared in mathematical literature in connection with computer algebra package verification. We show that the remarkable properties displayed by these integrals…
Results on two-particle angular correlations in jet cones and on multiplicity fluctuations in one- and two- dimensional angular intervals, delivered by three experiments (DELPHI, L3 and ZEUS, at $\sqrt{s}$ from few to 183 GeV) are compared…
The transverse size of q q-bar fluctuations of the longitudinal photon is reduced relative to the transverse size of q q-bar fluctuations of the transverse photon. This implies R(W^2, Q^2) = 0.375 or, equivalently, F_L(W^2,Q^2)/F_2(W^2,Q^2)…
Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…
We study the perturbative QCD description of the HERA measurements of $F_2 (x, Q^2)$ using a gluon distribution that is obtained from an evolution incorporating angular ordering of the gluon emissions, and which embodies both GLAP and BFKL…
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…
Exactly solvable two-dimensional polygon models, counted by perimeter and area, are described by $q$-algebraic functional equations. We provide techniques to extract the scaling behaviour of these models up to arbitrary order and apply them…
