We study the soft limit of one-loop QCD amplitudes and we derive the process-independent factorization formula that controls the singular behaviour in this limit. This is obtained from the customary eikonal factorization formula valid at tree (classical) level by introducing a generalized soft-gluon current that embodies the quantum corrections. We compute the explicit expression of the soft-gluon current at one-loop order. It contains purely non-abelian correlations between the colour charges of each pair of hard-momentum partons in the matrix element. This leads to colour correlations between (two and) three hard partons in the matrix element squared. Exploiting colour conservation, we recover QED-like factorization for the square of the matrix elements with two and three hard partons.

  1. $N$-Jettiness Soft Functions Made Simple

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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...

  2. Soft-Radiation-Induced Decoherence of Heavy-Quark Spin Entanglement at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Subleading soft-gluon recoil rotates the heavy-quark spin-correlation plane; tracing over unresolved radiation dephases in-plane coherences while protecting the normal-axis correlation.

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

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    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...

  4. Low-energy theory of jet processes and PDF factorization

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  5. Soft-Radiation-Induced Decoherence of Heavy-Quark Spin Entanglement at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Soft-gluon radiation via recoil rotations creates an effective dephasing channel that leaves normal-axis spin correlations unchanged while suppressing in-plane coherences in heavy-quark pairs produced at the EIC.
