We calculate in the next-to-leading approximation the non-forward quark impact factors for both singlet and octet color representation in the $t$-channel. The integral representation of the octet impact factor in the general case of…
Using the results recently obtained for the non-forward quark and gluon impact factors, it is shown that their form in the gluon colour channel is consistent with the ``third bootstrap condition'', namely, that they should be proportional…
We reformulate the so-called ``strong bootstrap'' conditions for the gluon Reggeization in the next-to-leading approximation (NLA), firstly suggested by Braun and Vacca, using a different approach, which is not based on properties of the…
Our aim is to show how the reggeization of the gluon, encoded in the bootstrap property of the BFKL kernel, permits to calculate the interaction kernel in the octet colour channel in the forward and non forward direction, for the quark…
We further analyse,at next-to-leading log(s) level,the form of k-factorization and the definition of impact factors previously proposed by one of us,and we generalize them to the case of hard colourless probes. We then calculate the finite…
We study the photon-quark-quark and Higgs-gluon-gluon form factors for on-shell massless quarks and gluons in perturbative QCD. Previous third-order results for the quark case are extended by calculating the fermion-loop contributions up to…
Description of hadronic reactions at high energies is conventionally done on basis of QCD factoriza- tion so that factorization convolutions involve non-perturbative inputs mimicking non-perturbative contributions and perturbative evolution…
The property of gluon Reggeization plays an essential role in the derivation of the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) equation for the cross sections at high energy $\sqrt s$ in perturbative QCD. This property has been proved to all…
We consider one-loop five-point QCD amplitudes in next-to-multi-Regge kinematics, and evaluate the one-loop impact factor for the emission of two gluons. This is the last ingredient which is necessary to evaluate the gluon-jet impact factor…
The bootstrap condition is generalized to $n$ reggeized gluons. As a result it is demonstrated that the intercept generated by $n$ reggeized gluons cannot be lower than the one for $n=2$. Arguments are presented that in the limit…
We study evolution of colour gluons and prove the possibility of gluon squeezed states at the nonperturbative QCD jet stage. Angular and rapidity dependences of squeezed gluon second correlation function are studied. We demonstrate that the…
Recently the non-forward BFKL kernel for interaction of two Reggeized gluons in the antisymmetric colour octet state in the $t$-channel was obtained in the next-to-leading order. It gives the possibility to check in this order the bootstrap…
Gluon-induced contributions to the associated production of a Higgs and a Z-boson are calculated with NLO accuracy in QCD. They constitute a significant contribution to the cross section for this process. The perturbative correction factor…
The 2nd order corrections are obtained to both forward and nonforward interaction of reggeized gluons in the octet colour channel using as a basis the bootstrap relation and a specific ansatz to solve it. The obtained forward kernel…
General expressions for the impact factors up to terms vanishing at the space-time dimension $D\rightarrow 4$ are presented. Their infrared behaviour is analysed and calculation of exact in $D\rightarrow 4$ asymptotics at small momenta of…
We present a complete description of the spectrum of compound states of reggeized gluons in QCD in multi-colour limit. The analysis is based on the identification of these states as ground states of noncompact Heisenberg SL(2,C) spin…
We calculate the quark part of the kernel of the generalized non-forward BFKL equation at non-zero momentum transfer $t$ in the next-to-leading logarithmic approximation. Along with the quark contribution to the gluon Regge trajectory, this…
We calculate the contribution to the gravitational form factors (GFFs) from the gluon part of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD. We take a simple spin $1/2$ composite state, namely a quark dressed with a gluon. We use the light-front…
We calculate the four-loop massless QCD corrections with three closed quark lines to quark and gluon form factors. We apply a novel integration by parts algorithm based on modular arithmetic and compute all relevant master integrals for…
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the gluon-fusion production of a Higgs boson in models with massive color-octet scalars in the ${\bf (8,1)_0}$ representation using an effective-theory approach. We derive a…
