We provide a general method to construct local infrared subtraction counterterms for unresolved radiative contributions to differential cross sections, to any order in perturbation theory. We start from the factorised structure of virtual corrections to scattering amplitudes, where soft and collinear divergences are organised in gauge-invariant matrix elements of fields and Wilson lines, and we define radiative eikonal form factors and jet functions which are fully differential in the radiation phase space, and can be shown to cancel virtual poles upon integration by using completeness relations and general theorems on the cancellation of infrared singularities. Our method reproduces known results at NLO and NNLO, and yields substantial simplifications in the organisation of the subtraction procedure, which will help in the construction of efficient subtraction algorithms at higher orders.

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The paper provides the complete three-loop singular subtraction terms for qT and 0-jettiness and derives the first threshold predictions for the three-loop beam-function coefficients, later confirmed by direct calculation.

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The difference between form-factor and large-x PDF single-pole anomalous dimensions equals one quarter of the lightlike parallelogram Wilson-loop anomalous dimension, verified at two loops.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A parton-shower-inspired local subtraction scheme for double-real corrections in color singlet decays is introduced, with finiteness verified for the e+e- to qqbar remainder and phase-space integrals computed analytic...

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-abelian soft-emission data imply that celestial OPE coefficients depend on gluon energy fractions, breaking holomorphic factorization and associativity, while single-soft logarithms can be reabsorbed into the runn...

  6. Triple real-emission contribution to the zero-jettiness soft function at N3LO in QCD

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper provides the technical derivation and cross-checks of the triple-real-emission piece of the N3LO zero-jettiness soft function, confirming the result announced in arXiv:2409.11042.
