We compute the non-factorisable contribution to the two-loop helicity amplitude for $t$-channel single-top production, the last missing piece of the two-loop virtual corrections to this process. Our calculation employs analytic reduction to…
We give a short introduction to and a partial review of the work on the calculation of Wilson loops and $Q\bar Q$-potentials via the conjectured AdS/CFT duality. Included is a discussion of the relative weight of the stringy correction to…
We study the factorization of soft and collinear singularities in dimensionally-regularized fixed-angle scattering amplitudes in massless gauge theories. Our factorization is based on replacing the hard massless partons by light-like Wilson…
Null Polygon Wilson Loops (WL) in N=4 SYM can be computed using the Operator Product Expansion in terms of a transition amplitude on top of a color flux tube (FT). That picture is valid at any value of the 't Hooft coupling. So far it has…
Form factors are quantities that involve both asymptotic on-shell states and gauge invariant operators. They provide a natural bridge between on-shell amplitudes and off-shell correlation functions of operators, thus allowing us to use…
This paper proposes and analyzes a class of weak Galerkin (WG) finite element methods for stationary natural convection problems in two and three dimensions. We use piecewise polynomials of degrees k, k-1, and k(k>=1) for the velocity,…
We calculate moments of the $O(\alpha_s^3)$ heavy flavor contributions to the Wilson coefficients of the structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ in the region $Q^2\gg m^2$. The massive Wilson coefficients are obtained as convolutions of massive…

We calculate the double pole contribution to two to four fermion scattering through $W^{\pm}$ currents at tree level in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We assume all fermions to be massless, $\rm U(3)^5$ flavour and $\rm…
Wilson's original formulation of the renormalization group is perturbative in nature. We here present an alternative derivation of the infinitesimal momentum shell RG, akin to the Wegner and Houghton scheme, that is a priori exact. We show…
We present first results for Wilson coefficients of operators up to first order in the covariant derivatives for the case of Wilson fermions. They are derived from the off-shell Compton scattering amplitude $\mathcal{W}_{\mu\nu}(a,p,q)$ of…
The newly discovered splitting behavior of tree-level scattering amplitudes of particles and strings has been expressed in terms of currents containing one off-shell leg. In this work, we explain how to obtain on-shell representations of…
We present a program to evaluate tree-level multi-gluon amplitudes with up to two of them off-shell. Furthermore, it evaluates squared amplitudes summed over colors and helicities for up to six external gluons. It employs both analytic…
Modern on-shell S-matrix methods may dramatically improve our understanding of perturbative quantum gravity, but current foundations of on-shell techniques for General Relativity still rely on off-shell Feynman diagram analysis. Here, we…
The evaluation of the two-loop MSSM-contributions to the electroweak precision observables M_W and s_w^eff at order(alpha_t^2), order(alpha_t alpha_b), order(alpha_b^2) is presented. These contributions enter via Delta(rho), and it is…

We apply factorization and eikonal methods from gauge theories to scattering amplitudes in gravity. We hypothesize that these amplitudes factor into an IR-divergent soft function and an IR-finite hard function, with the former given by the…
We calculate the pressure of massless $\phi^4$-theory to order $g^8\log(g)$ at weak coupling. The contributions to the pressure arise from the hard momentum scale of order $T$ and the soft momentum scale of order $gT$. Effective field…
