We compute the corrections to the two-loop amplitudes for $gg \to h$, $gg \to hg$, $qg \to hq$, and $q \bar q \to hg$ due to a modified cubic Higgs self-coupling. The exact dependence on the Higgs and top-quark masses across the entire $2…

High-energy factorization of 2 -> 2 amplitudes in QCD has been recently pushed to the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic order by determining the three-loop gluon Regge trajectory. This was based on computing multi-Reggeon exchanges using…
The associated production of a photon and a top-antitop quark pair ($t\bar{t}\gamma$) is important for measuring the top-quark charge and probing the top-photon interaction, and it requires improved theoretical predictions. We focus on the…
