Properties of a family of n reggeized gluon states in multicolour QCD

Abstract

A general relation between families of (n+1) gluon and n gluon eigenstates of the BKP evolution kernels in the multicolour limit of QCD is derived. It allows to construct an (n+1) gluon eigenstate if an n gluon eigenstate is known; this solution is Bose symmetric and thus physical for even n. A recently found family of odderon solutions corresponds to the particular case n=2.
