abstract
A classic result, originally due to Kluberg-Stern and Zuber, states that operators that vanish by the classical equation of motion (eom) do not mix into "physical" operators. Here we show that and explain why this result does not hold in soft-collinear effective theory (SCET) for the renormalization of power-suppressed operators. We calculate the non-vanishing mixing of eom operators for the simplest case of $N$-jet operators with a single collinear field in every direction. The result implies that---for the computation of the anomalous dimension but not for on-shell matrix elements---there exists a preferred set of fields that must be used to reproduce the infrared singularities of QCD scattering amplitudes. We identify these fields and explain their relation to the gauge-invariant SCET Lagrangian. Further checks reveal another generic property of SCET beyond leading power, which will be relevant to resummation at the next-to-leading logarithmic level, the divergence of convolution integrals with the hard matching coefficients. We propose an operator solution that allows to consistently renormalize such divergences.

geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting
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 structure of quark mass corrections in the $gg \rightarrow HH$ amplitude at high-energy
The leading-power mass logarithms in high-energy gg to HH are shown to originate solely from top-quark mass renormalization, enabling a resummation that sharply reduces the mass-scheme uncertainty of the virtual amplitude.

Region analysis of $H\to \gamma \gamma $ via a bottom quark loop
A two-loop region analysis of H to gamma gamma via a bottom quark loop shows that with a Delta regulator and a transverse momentum cut, the leading and next-to-leading logarithms come entirely from the soft sector.
