Abstract

The anomalous dimensions of light-ray operators of twist two are obtained by analytical continuation of the anomalous dimensions of corresponding local operators. I demonstrate that the asymptotics of these anomalous dimensions at the “BFKL point”. j→1 can be obtained by comparing the light-cone operator expansion with the highenergy expansion in Wilson lines.

PACS number(s): 12.38.Bx, 12.38.Cy.
