Abstract: Within QCD reggeon field theory we study the formation of two subsequent triple pomeron vertices in the process P→PP→PPP. We make use of an earlier investigation [1] of the six-reggeon amplitude in deep inelastic scattering and show that in the large-N c limit pomeron fan diagrams emerge with the same triple pomeron vertex in all places. We thus confirm the BK-equation, but we also find additional terms related to the reggeization of the gluon, and we discuss their potential significance. Our analysis also includes the general pomeron → two odderon vertex: a particular version of this vertex has been included into earlier generalizations the BK equation.
