abstract
An explicit example is presented (a one-loop triangle graph) where dimensional regularization fails to regulate the infra-red singularities that emerge at intermediate steps of studying large-$Q^2$ Sudakov factorization. The mathematical nature of the phenomenon is explained within the framework of the theory of the $As$-operation.

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 between cusp and octagon anomalous dimensions, with proposed all-loop expressions relying
