Abstract:
We consider elastic quark-quark scattering at high energy and fixed transferred momentum. Performing factorization of soft gluon exchanges into Wilson line expectation value we find that there is one-to-one correspondence between high energy asymptotics in QCD and renormalization properties of the so called cross singularities of Wilson lines. Using this relation we show that the asymptotic behavior of the quark-quark scattering amplitude is controlled by a matrix of the cross anomalous dimensions. We evaluate the matrix of cross anomalous dimension to two-loop order and study the properties of the obtained expressions to higher loop order.- gauge field theory: SU(N)
