k-FACTORIZATION AND NEXT-TO-LEADING ANOMALOUS DIMENSIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
I review recent results by Fadin, Lipatov and collaborators and by our group, leading to the almost complete calculation of the next-to-leading BFKL kernel, of its eigenvalues, and of the resummed gluon anomalous dimension. Qualitative implications for small-x structure functions include consistent running coupling effects and a sizeable decrease of the Pomeron intercept, so as to slow down the small-x rise at low values of Q.

K-factorization and Small-x Anomalous Dimensions
We investigate the consistency requirements of the next-to leading BFKL equation with the renormalization group, with particular emphasis on running coupling effects and NL anomalous dimensions. We show that, despite some model dependence of the bare hard Pomeron, such consistency holds at leading twist level, provided the effective variable α s (t) log(1/x) is not too large. We give a unified ...
متن کاملOn sabbatical leave of absence from Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Firenze, and INFN,
I investigate, at leading twist level, the consistency of the BFKL equation with the renormalization group, when next-to-leading log-x terms are included in the quark-sea channel of the anomalous dimension matrix. By use of k⊥-factorization, I find that, besides next-to-leading small x resummation formulae, a leading, x-dependent redefinition of initial quarks and gluons is needed. Its interpre...
متن کاملAll order Running Coupling BFKL Evolution from GLAP (and vice-versa)
We present a systematic formalism for the derivation of the kernel of the BFKL equation from that of the GLAP equation and conversely to any given order, with full inclusion of the running of the coupling. The running coupling is treated as an operator, reducing the inclusion of running coupling effects and their factorization to a purely algebraic problem. We show how the GLAP anomalous dimens...
متن کاملElectroweak-boson hadroproduction at large transverse momentum: factorization, resummation, and NNLO corrections
We study the resummation of singular distributions for electroweakboson production at large transverse momentum in hadronic collisions. We describe the factorization properties of the cross section near partonic threshold and construct the resummed cross section at next-toleading logarithmic accuracy in moment space in terms of soft gluon anomalous dimensions. We present full analytical results...
متن کاملTwo-loop soft anomalous dimensions and NNLL resummation for heavy quark production
I present results for two-loop soft anomalous dimensions for heavy quark production which control soft-gluon resummation at next-to-next-to-leading-logarithm (NNLL) accuracy. I derive an explicit expression for the exact result and study it numerically for top quark production via e+e− → tt̄, and I construct a surprisingly simple but very accurate approximation. I show that the two-loop soft ano...
