We investigate $2 \to 3$ QCD scattering amplitudes in multi-Regge kinematics, i.e. where the final partons are strongly ordered in rapidity. In this regime amplitudes exhibit intriguing factorisation properties which can be understood in terms of effective degrees of freedom called \emph{reggeons}. Working within the Balitsky/JIMWLK framework, we predict these amplitudes for the first time to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order, and compare against the limit of QCD scattering amplitudes in full colour and kinematics. We find that the latter can be described in terms of universal objects, and that the apparent non-universality arising at NNLL comes from well-defined and under-control contributions that we can predict. Thanks to this observation, we extract for the first time the universal vertex that controls the emission of the central-rapidity gluon, both in QCD and $N = 4$ super Yang-Mills.

  1. Spacelike-Collinear Scattering by the Method of Regions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The kinematic factorisation-violating part of the two-loop spacelike-collinear splitting amplitude comes entirely from a single hidden region with soft and Glauber loop momenta.

  2. New results on small-x resummation for splitting functions

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 8.0

    A closed-form all-order expression for the qg anomalous dimension, plus new all-order results for the LL gluon anomalous dimension and the finite qg/gg Green functions, derived and implemented in HELL 4.0.

  3. Quark Reggeization in QCD from the Wilson line formalism

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives Reggeized quark operator from Wilson lines and its nonlinear rapidity RG evolution in QCD, recovering known Regge trajectories in dilute and large-Nc limits after signature projection.

  4. Progress on the soft anomalous dimension in QCD

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A lightcone-expansion strategy using Wilson-line correlators and the Method of Regions yields the three-loop soft anomalous dimension for QCD amplitudes with one massive colored particle and arbitrary massless ones.

  5. 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.
