Three-loop corrections to Higgs boson pair production: reducible contribution

Abstract

We compute three-loop corrections to the process $gg\to HH$ originating from one-particle reducible diagrams. This requires the computation of two-loop corrections to the gluon-gluon-Higgs vertex with an off-shell gluon. We describe in detail our approach to obtain semi-analytic results for the vertex form factors and present results for the two form factors contributing to Higgs boson pair production.
