Fulfillment of the strong bootstrap condition
Abstract
Description
The self-consistency of the assumption of Reggeized form of the production amplitudes in multi-Regge kinematics, which are used in the derivation of the BFKL equation, leads to strong bootstrap conditions. The fulfillment of these conditions opens the way to a rigorous proof of the BFKL equation in the next-to-leading approximation. The strong bootstrap condition for the kernel of the BFKL equation for the octet color state of two Reggeized gluons is one of these conditions. We show that it is satisfied in the next-to-leading approximation.
