abstract
The high-energy limit of gauge-theory amplitudes features both a Regge pole and Regge cuts. We show how to disentangle these, and hence how to determine the Regge trajectory beyond two loops. While the nonplanar part of multiple Reggeon $t$-channel exchange forms a Regge cut, the planar part contributes to the pole along with the single Reggeon. With this, we find that the infrared singularities of the trajectory are given by the cusp anomalous dimension. By matching to recent QCD results, we determine the quark and gluon impact factors to two loops and the Regge trajectory to three loops.

Derives Reggeized quark operator from Wilson lines and its nonlinear rapidity RG evolution in QCD, recovering known Regge trajectories in dilute and large-Nc limits after signature projection.
A lightcone-expansion strategy using Wilson-line correlators and the Method of Regions yields the three-loop soft anomalous dimension for QCD amplitudes with one massive colored particle and arbitrary massless ones.
