Abstract

We provide results for the one-loop triple-collinear color/spin-space splitting operators for the five possible processes, qqqqˉq \to qq'\bar{q}', qqqqˉq \to qq\bar{q}, qqggq \to qgg, ggqqˉg \to gq\bar{q} and ggggg \to ggg. The expressions are exact in dimensionally-regulated massless QCD up to a single integral, which we expand to second order in the dimensional-regularisation parameter. We also evaluate the related splitting functions. Our results are both sufficient and indispensable for the construction of subtraction and integrated-subtraction terms for triple-collinear singularities of one-loop double-real-emission cross-section contributions as part of a next-to-next-to-next-to leading order subtraction scheme.
