The Gluon Impact Factors

Abstract

We calculate in the next-to-leading approximation the non-forward gluon impact factors for arbitrary color state in the -channel. In the case of the octet state we check the so-called "second bootstrap condition" for the gluon Reggeization in QCD, using the integral representation for the impact factors. The condition is fulfilled in the general case of an arbitrary space-time dimension and massive quark flavors for both helicity conserving and non-conserving parts.
