We resum distributions that are singular at partonic threshold (the elastic limit) in heavy quark production, in terms of logarithmic behavior in moment space. The method may be applied to a variety of cross sections sensitive to the edge of phase space, including transverse momentum distributions. Beyond leading logarithm, dependence on the moment variable is controlled by a matrix renormalization group equation, reflecting the evolution of composite operators that represent the color structure of the underlying hard scattering. At next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy, these evolution equations may be diagonalized, and moment dependence in the cross section is a sum of exponentials. Beyond next-to-leading logarithm, resummation involves matrix-ordering. We give a detailed analysis for the case of heavy quark production by light quark annihilation and gluon fusion.
