Pomeron-Odderon Interactions: A Functional RG Flow Analysis

In the quest for an effective field theory which could help to understand some non perturbative feature of the QCD in the Regge limit, we consider a Reggeon Field Theory (RFT) for both Pomeron and Odderon interactions and perform an analysys of the critical theory using functional renormalization group techniques, unveiling a novel symmetry structure.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, Proceedings of the "Diffraction 2016" International Workshop on Diffraction in High-Energy Physics, 2-8 September 2016, Acireale, Ital

The bootstrap for impact factors and the gluon wave function

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 to the gluon wave function. The gluon wave function found from this assumption is used to write the full bootstrap condition for the gluonic potential in the next-to-leading order.Comment: Latex, 7 page
