Bootstrapping Rapidity Anomalous Dimensions for Transverse-Momentum Resummation

Abstract

A soft function relevant for transverse-momentum resummation for Drell-Yan or Higgs production at hadron colliders is computed through to three loops in the expansion of strong coupling, with the help of the bootstrap technique and supersymmetric decomposition. The corresponding rapidity anomalous dimension is extracted. An intriguing relation between anomalous dimensions for transverse-momentum resummation and threshold resummation is found.
