Abstract
The bootstrap condition is generalized ton reggeized gluons. As a result it is demonstrated that the intercept generated byn reggeized gluons cannot be lower than the one forn=2. Arguments are presented that in the limitN c→∞ the bootstrap condition reduces then gluon chain with interacting neighbours to a single BFKL pomeron. In this limit the contribution fromn gluons leading at high energies corresponds ton/2 non-interacting BFKL pomerons (then/2 pomeron cut). The sum overn leads to a unitaryγ*γ amplitude of the eikonal form.
