On QCD RFT corrections to the propagator of reggeized gluons

Abstract

We calculate an one loop QCD Regge Field Theory (RFT) correction to the propagator of reggeized gluons basing on the QCD effective action of Lipatov, [1–6], and results of [7] where Dyson-Schwinger hierarchy of the equations for the correlators of reggeized gluon fields was derived. The correction is calculated entirely in the framework of RFT with the use of the obtained expressions for the RFT bare triple Reggeon vertices and propagator of reggeized gluons, the cases of bare propagator and propagator calculated to one-loop precision are considered separately. In both results the obtained correction represents non-eikonal contributions to the propagator kinematically suppressed by 1/s factor in comparison to the usual LLA contributions. The further application of the obtained results is discussed as well.
