Unpolarized GPDs at small x and non-zero skewness
read the original abstract
We study the small-$x$ asymptotics of unpolarized generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and generalized transverse momentum distributions (GTMDs). Unlike the previous works in the literature, we consider the case of non-zero (but small) skewness while allowing for non-linear contributions to the evolution equations. We show that unpolarized GPDs and GTMDs at small $x$ are related to the eikonal dipole amplitude $N$, whose small-$x$ evolution is given by the BK/JIMWLK evolution equations, and to the odderon amplitude $\cal O$, whose evolution is also known in the literature. We show that the effect of non-zero skewness $\xi \neq 0$ is to modify the value of the evolution parameter (rapidity) in the arguments for the dipole amplitudes $N$ and $\cal O$ from $Y = \ln (1/x)$ to $Y = \ln \min \left\{ 1/|x| , 1/|\xi| \right\}$.

On the Two $R$-Factors in the Small-$x$ Shockwave Formalism
Replacing the rapidity argument of the dipole amplitude with ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|} and refining initial conditions for non-linear evolution can eliminate two R-factors in small-x shockwave calculations.
