The assumption that two-loop top corrections are well approximated by the $O(G_mu^2 mt^4)$ contribution is investigated. It is shown that in the case of the ratio neutral-to-charged current amplitudes at zero momentum transfer the $O(G_mu^2…
We calculate the two-loop soft function for $pp \to jj$, $e^+e^- \to 4j$ or $e p \to 3j$ when the $N$-jettiness observable is measured. The result presented here makes up the necessary piece for realizing the full next-to-next-to-leading…
