Factorization properties of one-loop gauge theory amplitudes have been used as checks on explicitly computed amplitudes and in the construction of ansatze for higher-point ones. In massless theories, such as QCD at high energies, infrared divergences complicate factorization. Here we prove that factorization in such theories is described by a set of universal functions. In particular, a proof of the universality of one-loop splitting functions as the momenta of two particles become collinear is presented. Factorization in multi-particle channels is also given. The discontinuity functions that appear in the splitting functions may also be used to obtain infrared divergent box integral functions from finite ones.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

    The authors derive the complete conservative two-body Hamiltonian for spinless black holes at third post-Minkowskian order using scattering amplitudes and effective field theory.

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A general leading-power factorization framework for exclusive multijet resolution variables, with a new rapidity regulator and an all-order factorizing k_T-ness variable.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A bootstrap using soft and collinear limits fixes the tree-level form factor squared in planar N=4 SYM up to N=6, unifying loop integrands from two-point master diagrams.

  5. Infrared Singularities of Scattering Amplitudes and N$^3$LL Resummation for $n$-Jet Processes

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    At four-loop order, the soft anomalous dimension for massless n-particle amplitudes contains d_R^{abcd} color structures multiplied by cusp logarithms, which breaks naive Casimir scaling but preserves a generalized scaling.

  6. An adaptive inverse-problem framework for one-loop five-gluon BCJ numerators

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The complete 207-dimensional family of one-loop five-gluon BCJ numerator coefficients is reconstructed exactly, and every direction in that family is shown to be invisible to the specified color-ring observable.

  7. Gauge anomalies on shell and collinear factorization

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Violation of gauge anomaly cancellation conditions is equivalent, in on-shell amplitudes, to a breakdown of collinear factorization in one-loop five-point amplitudes with graviton exchange.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using colour conservation and rescaling symmetry, the two-particle collinear constraints are shown to imply multi-particle collinear factorisation through four loops, and a new triple-collinear constraint is derived f...
