Kinematical Limits on Higgs Boson Production via Gluon Fusion in Association with Jets
In this paper, we analyze the high-energy limits for Higgs boson plus two jet
production. We consider two high-energy limits, corresponding to two different
kinematic regions: a) the Higgs boson is centrally located in rapidity between
the two jets, and very far from either jet; b) the Higgs boson is close to one
jet in rapidity, and both of these are very far from the other jet. In both
cases the amplitudes factorize into impact factors or coefficient functions
connected by gluons exchanged in the t channel. Accordingly, we compute the
coefficient function for the production of a Higgs boson from two off-shell
gluons, and the impact factors for the production of a Higgs boson in
association with a gluon or a quark jet. We include the full top quark mass
dependence and compare this with the result obtained in the large top-mass
limit.Comment: 35 pages, 6 figure
Next-to-Leading order Higgs + 2 jet production via gluon fusion
We present phenomenological results for the production of a Higgs boson in
association with two jets at the LHC. The calculation is performed in the limit
of large top mass and is accurate to next-to-leading order in the strong
coupling, i.e. Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures; v2: references added, modified acknowledgments,

Symbols of One-Loop Integrals From Mixed Tate Motives
We use a result on mixed Tate motives due to Goncharov
(arXiv:alg-geom/9601021) to show that the symbol of an arbitrary one-loop
2m-gon integral in 2m dimensions may be read off directly from its Feynman
parameterization. The algorithm proceeds via recursion in m seeded by the
well-known box integrals in four dimensions. As a simple application of this
method we write down the symbol of a three-mass hexagon integral in six
dimensions.Comment: 13 pages, v2: minor typos correcte

Wilson Loops @ 3-Loops in Special Kinematics
We obtain a compact expression for the octagon MHV amplitude / Wilson loop at
3 loops in planar N=4 SYM and in special 2d kinematics in terms of 7 unfixed
coefficients. We do this by making use of the cyclic and parity symmetry of the
amplitude/Wilson loop and its behaviour in the soft/collinear limits as well as
in the leading term in the expansion away from this limit. We also make a
natural and quite general assumption about the functional form of the result,
namely that it should consist of weight 6 polylogarithms whose symbol consists
of basic cross-ratios only (and not functions thereof). We also describe the
uplift of this result to 10 points.Comment: 26 pages. Typos correcte

Hopf algebras, coproducts and symbols: an application to Higgs boson amplitudes
We show how the Hopf algebra structure of multiple polylogarithms can be used
to simplify complicated expressions for multi-loop amplitudes in perturbative
quantum field theory and we argue that, unlike the recently popularized
symbol-based approach, the coproduct incorporates information about the zeta
values. We illustrate our approach by rewriting the two-loop helicity
amplitudes for a Higgs boson plus three gluons in a simplified and compact form
involving only classical polylogarithms.Comment: 46 page
Dijet Production at Hadron--Hadron Colliders in the BFKL Approach
The production in high-energy hadron collisions of a pair of jets with large
rapidity separation is studied in an improved BFKL formalism. By recasting the
analytic solution of the BFKL equation as an explicit order-by-order sum over
emitted gluons, the effects of phase space constraints and the running coupling
are studied. Particular attention is paid to the azimuthal angle decorrelation
of the jet pair. The inclusion of sub-leading effects significantly improves
the agreement between the theoretical predictions and recent preliminary
measurements from the Dzero collaboration.Comment: 19 pages LaTeX; one figure corrected; conclusions unchange
Exploring the role of the histidine biosynthetic hisF gene in cellular metabolism and in the evolution of (ancestral) genes: from LUCA to the extant (micro)organisms
Histidine biosynthesis is an ancestral pathway that was assembled before the appearance of the Last Universal Common Ancestor; afterwards, it remained unaltered in all the extant histidine-synthesizing (micro)organisms. It is a metabolic cross-road interconnecting histidine biosynthesis to nitrogen metabolism and the de novo synthesis of purines. This interconnection is due to the reaction catalyzed by the products of hisH and hisF genes. The latter gene is an excellent model to study which trajectories have been followed by primordial cells to build the first metabolic routes, since its evolution is the result of different molecular rearrangement events, i.e. gene duplication, gene fusion, gene elongation, and domain shuffling. Additionally, this review summarizes data concerning the involvement of hisF and its product in other different cellular processes, revealing that HisF very likely plays a role also in cell division control and involvement in virulence and nodule development in different bacteria. From the metabolic viewpoint, these results suggest that HisF plays a central role in cellular metabolism, highlighting the interconnections of different metabolic pathways
