On the odderon intercept in the perturbative QCD
  The odderon intercept is calculated directly using the wave function recently constructed by R.A.Janik and J.Wosiek. The results confirm their reported value. It is also found that their solution for $q_3=0$ does not satisfy the Bose-symmetry requirements. Introduction of terms into the trial wave function with an asymptotical behavior similar to the Janik-Wosiek wave functions does not seem to improve variational estimates significantly. The diffusion parameter is found to be of the order 0.6.
