On the odderon intercept in perturbative QCD
Abstract
Description
Arguments are presented for the odderon intercept being exactly equal to unity. A variational method is presented based on a complete system of one-gluon functions. For the odderon, the highest intercept calculated by this method is $1-(3α_{s}/π)\,0.45$.
