Using cutting techniques we obtain the two-loop N=4 super-Yang-Mills helicity amplitudes for four-gluon scattering in terms of scalar integral functions. The N=4 amplitudes are considerably simpler than corresponding QCD amplitudes and…

I discuss the status of the computation of the two-loop QCD corrections to top-quark pair production associated with a jet at hadron colliders. This amplitude is a missing ingredient for next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions.…

We calculate and discuss the one-loop corrections to the photon sector of QED interacting to a background gravitational field. At high energies the fermion field can be taken as massless and the quantum terms can be obtained by integrating…

The QED four-photon amplitude has been well-studied by many authors, and on-shell is treated in many textbooks. However, a calculation with all four photons off-shell is presently still lacking, despite of the fact that this amplitude…
