In the limit where partons become collinear to each other, scattering amplitudes factorize into a product of universal, process-independent building blocks and scattering amplitudes involving fewer partons. We compute these universal building blocks -- known as splitting amplitudes -- for two collinear QCD partons up to third loop order in QCD. Our results describe arbitrary time-like splitting processes. Due to the violation of strict collinear factorization in space-like splitting processes, we specifically present space-like splitting amplitudes for three-parton QCD scattering amplitudes at third loop order. To achieve our results, we perform a collinear expansion of three-loop scattering amplitudes using a new expansion-by-subgraph technology, which is based on the method of regions.

  1. geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. Collinear Factorization Violation and Reggeization

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Collinear-factorization-violating contributions from a single Glauber gluon factor into collinear and soft subgraphs, and their leading rapidity logarithms exponentiate via the gluon Regge trajectory.

  4. Top-associated Higgs-boson production using perturbative fragmentation functions at next-to-leading-order

    hep-ph 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Perturbative fragmentation functions reproduce the leading top-mass dependence of the exact NLO ttH cross section in the hybrid prescription at LHC energies.

  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.

  6. Top-associated Higgs-boson production using perturbative fragmentation functions at next-to-leading-order

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Perturbative fragmentation functions approximate ttH production at NLO and yield reliable results in the hybrid prescription at LHC energies.
