Conformal symmetry and the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation

Abstract

Solutions to the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation are considered which respect an SO(3) subgroup of the conformal group. The symmetry dictates a specific dependence of the saturation scale on the impact parameter. Applications to deep inelastic scattering are considered.
