We complete the study of two-loop infrared singularities of scattering amplitudes with an arbitrary number of massive and massless partons in non-abelian gauge theories. To this end, we calculate the universal functions F_1 and f_2, which completely specify the structure of three-parton correlations in the soft anomalous-dimension matrix, at two-loop order in closed analytic form. Both functions are found to be suppressed like O(m^4/s^2) in the limit of small parton masses, in accordance with mass factorization theorems proposed in the literature. On the other hand, they are unsuppressed and diverge logarithmically near the threshold for pair production of two heavy particles. As an application, we calculate the two-loop anomalous-dimension matrix for q q_bar --> t t_bar near threshold and show that it is not diagonal in the s-channel singlet-octet basis.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The two-loop finite remainders for gg to ttbar g at leading colour are evaluated numerically at one benchmark point, with elliptic functions confined to the finite part.

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    First two-loop QCD hard functions for ttW production with exact top and W masses in leading colour, evaluated on a 224,640-point grid and cross-checked by an independent calculation.

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Leading-colour two-loop virtual amplitudes for ttbar+jet are extracted analytically via finite-field evaluations and differential equations, then packaged in a C++ library with new numerical integration techniques.

  4. Two-loop helicity amplitudes for diphoton production with massive quark loop

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Two-loop helicity amplitudes for diphoton production with a massive top quark loop are computed, providing new analytic results for gluon fusion and benchmark numbers for both channels.

    hep-ph 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    At four-loop order, the soft anomalous dimension for massless n-particle amplitudes contains d_R^{abcd} color structures multiplied by cusp logarithms, which breaks naive Casimir scaling but preserves a generalized scaling.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using colour conservation and rescaling symmetry, the two-particle collinear constraints are shown to imply multi-particle collinear factorisation through four loops, and a new triple-collinear constraint is derived f...

    Soft-hard factorization and exponentiation of infrared divergences in QED are derived from graph Laplacians and tropical rays in Schwinger parameter space.

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    Most three-loop formulas quoted here were already published by the same author; the top-pair three-loop results are explicitly incomplete.
