Reggeization of quark-quark scattering amplitude in QCD

$s$-channel discontinuity of quark-quark scattering amplitude with gluon quantum numbers in the $t$ channel and negative signature is calculated in the Regge kinematical region in the two-loop approximation. Using this discontinuity and assuming that the Regge asymptotic behaviour is given by the Reggeized gluon contribution, we calculate the gluon trajectory in the two-loop approximation. Remarkable cancellations lead to the independence of the trajectory on properties of the scattered quarks, confirming the gluon Reggeization.

Quark contribution to the reggeon-reggeon-gluon vertex in QCD

The quark loop contribution to the reggeon-reggeon-gluon vertex is calculated in QCD, where the reggeon is the reggeized gluon. Compared with the vertex in the Born approximation, this contribution exhibits a new spin structure as well as the gluon loop one. A remarkable but not complete cancellation between gluon and quark contributions to this new spin structure takes place for the case of three massless quark flavours.

Radiative corrections to quark-quark-reggeon vertex in QCD

One loop corrections to the coupling of the reggeized gluon to quarks are calculated in QCD. Combining this result with the known corrections to the gluon-gluon-reggeon vertex, we check the self-consistency of the representation of the amplitudes with gluon quantum numbers and negative signature in the $t$-channel in terms of Regge pole contribution.
