The Singular Behaviour of QCD Amplitudes at Two-loop Order
read the original abstract
We discuss the structure of infrared singularities in on-shell QCD amplitudes at two-loop order. We present a general factorization formula that controls all the $\ep$-poles of the dimensionally regularized amplitudes. The dependence on the regularization scheme is considered and the coefficients of the $1/\ep^4, 1/\ep^3$ and $1/\ep^2$ poles are explicitly given in the most general case. The remaining single-pole contributions are also explicitly evaluated in the case of amplitudes with a $q{\bar q}$ pair.

Walking Sudakov: From Cusp to Octagon
In a novel scaling limit on the Coulomb branch of planar N=4 SYM, the Sudakov form factor and four-point amplitude exhibit double-logarithmic behavior governed by a walking anomalous dimension that interpolates betwee...

Two-loop leading-color QCD corrections for Higgs plus two-jet production in the heavy-top limit
Analytic expressions for the finite remainders of two-loop leading-color helicity amplitudes in Higgs plus two-jet production are obtained in the heavy-top effective theory using numerical unitarity and a new partial-...

$N$-Jettiness Soft Functions Made Simple
A decomposition splits the most singular dipole term of the N-jettiness soft function into an inclusive soft function and a remainder that is absent at NLO, finite at NNLO, and subtractable at N3LO, enabling NNLO resu...
