abstract
The soft emission factor is a central ingredient in the factorization of generic $n$-particle gauge theory amplitudes with one soft gluon in the external state. We present the complete two-loop soft factor, capturing the leading power behavior in the soft-gluon momentum. At two loops, the color structure and the kinematic dependence of the soft factor become nontrivial as the soft gluon can couple to three hard partons for the first time (tripole terms). The nontrivial kinematic dependence of the tripole terms is of uniform, maximal transcendental weight, and can be expressed (in a "Euclidean" region) in terms of single-valued harmonic polylogarithms. Our results are consistent with the behavior of the recently computed symbol of the two-loop five-particle amplitude in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory. In the limit where the outgoing soft gluon is also collinear with an incoming hard parton, potentially dangerous factorization-violating terms can arise, but they cancel after summing over colors.

Spacelike-Collinear Scattering by the Method of Regions
The kinematic factorisation-violating part of the two-loop spacelike-collinear splitting amplitude comes entirely from a single hidden region with soft and Glauber loop momenta.

Non-abelian soft radiation data for a celestial theory
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...

Low-energy theory of jet processes and PDF factorization
A three-loop Glauber contribution to low-energy soft-collinear matrix elements exactly cancels the collinear factorization-violating terms, so DGLAP running and PDF factorization are consistent with super-leading logarithms.

Equivariant primitives of Eisenstein series for congruence subgroups
Equivariant primitives of Eisenstein series for principal congruence subgroups are shown to equal the corresponding non-holomorphic Eisenstein series, including new weight-two cases expressed via single-valued logarithms.
