We present the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) coefficient functions for the polarized cross section $d\Delta \sigma/dQ$ for the Drell-Yan process $p + p\to l^+l^- + 'X'$. Here $'X'$ denotes any inclusive hadronic state and $Q$…

We study the single transverse-spin asymmetry for the Drell-Yan lepton pair production based on the twist-3 mechanism in the collinear factorization. We calculate all the hard-pole (HP) and the soft-fermion-pole (SFP) contributions to the…
We compute the quark and gluon transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) in perturbative QCD. Our calculation is based on an expansion of the differential Higgs boson and…
{}From the literature one infers that the bulk of the order $\alpha_{s}$ corrections to the Drell-Yan cross sections $d\sigma/dm$ and $m^{3}d^{2}\sigma/dmdx_{F}$ is constituted by the soft plus virtual gluon part of the coefficient…
We consider the problem of soft gluon resummation for gauge theory amplitudes and cross sections, at next-to-eikonal order, using a Feynman diagram approach. At the amplitude level, we prove exponentiation for the set of factorizable…
In this paper, we extend the method proposed in \cite{Arkani-Hamed:2024fyd} for deriving soft theorems of amplitudes, which relies exclusively on factorization properties including conventional factorizations on physical poles, as well as…
