I review the recent progress in the evaluation of two-loop massive QCD amplitudes necessary for the description of hadronic scattering processes at the LHC. I put a special emphasis on the case of top-quark final states.
We shall discuss how some relevant analyticity and crossing-symmetry properties of the "eikonal scattering amplitudes" of two Wilson loops in QCD, when going from Euclidean to Minkowskian theory, can be related to the still unsolved problem…
Analytical calculations of radiative corrections in strong-field QED have hinted that in the presence of an intense plane wave the effective coupling of the theory in the high-energy sector may increase as the $(2/3)$-power of the energy…
If there is Lorentz symmetry violation in the $t$ quark sector of the standard model, changes to particles' dispersion relations might allow for the existence of stable top-flavored hadrons. Observations of the survival of high-energy…
