Abstract
We derive a novel factorization theorem for -jettiness at hadron colliders, which incorporates coherence-violating effects induced by Glauber gluons and several new momentum modes. Their interplay generates coherence-violating logarithms (CVLs) starting at four-loop () or five-loop order (). We calculate the anomalous dimensions required for the resummation of CVLs and establish a general framework for the systematic treatment of coherence violation. Our findings imply that most existing factorization formulas for global LHC observables must be revised.
