Solution of the Fan Diagram Equation in 2+1 Dimensional QCD
Abstract
We investigate the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation for D=3 space-time dimensions, corresponding to one transverse coordinate, and we show that it can be solved analytically. The explicit solutions are found in the linear approximation and for the paricular cases when they do not depend on the impact parameter of the dipole or on its rapidity. It is shown, that in a general case different solutions are related by an infinite parameter group of transformations. The key observation is that the equation has the Kowalewskaya-Painlev\'e property, which gives the possibility of reducing the non-linear problem to the solution of a linear integral equation.
