We explore the collinear limit of final-state quark splittings at order $\alpha_s^2$. While at general NLL level, this limit is described simply by a product of leading-order $1\to 2$ DGLAP splitting functions, at the NNLL level we need to…
By using $\k$-factorization, we derive resummation formulas for the non-abelian $q\bar{q}$ contributions to both heavy flavour production by gluon fusion, and to the next-to-leading BFKL kernel. By combining this result with previous ones…

The form factors for the $K_{\ell 3}$ semileptonic decay are computed to order $O(p^4)$ in generalized chiral perturbation theory. The main difference with the standard $O(p^4)$ expressions consists in contributions quadratic in quark…
The form factors for semi-leptonic B decays, $\bar{B}\to\pi l\bar{\nu}_l$, are calculated under collinear factorization approach. The end-point divergences are regularized by a $\xi$-regularization, where $\xi$ means the collinear fraction…
