Abstract

Motivated by the question of unitarity of Reggeon Field Theory, we use the effective field theory philosophy to find possible Reggeon Field Theory Hamiltonians HRFT. We require that HRFT is self dual, reproduce all known limits (dilute-dense and dilute-dilute) and exhibits all the symmetries of the JIMWLK Hamiltonian. We find a family of Hamiltonians which satisfy all the above requirements. One of these is identical in form to the so called “diamond action” discussed in [67, 68]. However we show by explicit calculation that the so called “diamond condition” is not satisfied beyond leading perturbative order.
