All-Orders Singular Emission in Gauge Theories

Abstract

I present a class of functions unifying all singular limits for the emission of soft or collinear gluons in gauge-theory amplitudes at any order in perturbation theory. Each function is a generalization of the antenna functions of ref. [1]. The helicity-summed interferences these functions are thereby also generalizations to higher orders of the Catani--Seymour dipole factorization function.
