Strong Bootstrap Conditions

Abstract

We reformulate the so-called ``strong bootstrap'' conditions for the gluon Reggeization in the next-to-leading approximation (NLA), firstly suggested by Braun and Vacca, using a different approach, which is not based on properties of the eigenstates of the NLA octet BFKL kernel. We write the second strong bootstrap condition for the NLA octet impact factors in a form which makes clear their dependence on the process. According to this condition, the NLA octet impact factors must be given by the product of the corresponding Reggeon interaction vertices with a universal coefficient function. This function can be used also in the formulation of the first strong bootstrap condition for the NLA BFKL kernel in the octet state.
