We analyze the relation between evolution equations at low x that have been derived in different approaches in the last several years. We show that the equation derived by Balitsky and Kovchegov is obtained from the Jalilian-Marian–Kovner–Leonidov–Weigert (JKLW) equation in the limit of small induced charge density. We argue that the higher nonlinearities resummed by the JKLW equation correspond, in physical terms, to the breakdown of the eikonal approximation when the gluon fields in the…

Non-linear evolution in QCD at high-energy beyond leading order

Journal of High Energy Physics

A bstractThe standard formulation of the high-energy evolution in perturbative QCD, based on the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, is known to suffer from severe instabilities associated with radiative

Perturbative QCD predicts that the growth of the gluon density at small x (high energies) should saturate, forming a Color Glass Condensate (CGC), which is described in mean field approximation by

We prove that the complete kernel for the high-energy evolution in QCD must be self-dual. The relevant duality transformation is formulated in precise mathematical terms and is shown to transform the

We make several remarks on the B-JIMWLK hierarchy. First, we present a simple and instructive derivation of this equation by considering an arbitrary projectile wave function with small number of

Evolution equations for high parton density QCD
This talk is given at "Continious Advances in QCD", Minnesota, April 16-19,1998. It is a brief report on our results in high parton density QCD. The main goal of this talk is to discuss the new
Unitarization of Gluon Distribution in the Doubly Logarithmic Regime at High Density

We analyze the general nonlinear evolution equations for multi gluon correlators derived in [1] by restricting ourselves to a double logarithmic region. In this region our evolution equation becomes
A Perturbative Gluon Condensate
There is considerable freedom in setting boundary conditions to perturbation theory at $t=\pm\infty$. The standard PQED and PQCD expansions are based on the (empty) perturbative vacuum. Since the
Soft Perturbative QCD
There are indications of a faith transition in QCD: The strong coupling may freeze at a sufficiently low value to make PQCD relevant even in the confining regime. The properties of PQCD at low Q^2

We continue the study of the effective action for low {ital x} physics based on a Wilson renormalization group approach. We express the full nonlinear renormalization group equation in terms of the

In this paper we derive the complete Wilson renormalization group equation which governs the evolution of the gluon distribution and other gluonic observables at low {ital x} and arbitrary density.

We compute the distribution functions for gluons at very small x and not too large values of transverse momenta. We extend the McLerran-Venugopalan model by using renormalization group methods to
