TL;DR
This paper investigates a potential loophole in factorization proofs related to the interaction between low-energy collinear and soft gluons, aiming to strengthen the theoretical foundations of quantum chromodynamics.
Contribution
It identifies and analyzes a specific coupling issue in factorization proofs, proposing methods to close this loophole and improve proof robustness.
Findings
Identified a coupling loophole in existing factorization proofs
Proposed a method to address the coupling between collinear and soft gluons
Enhanced the theoretical rigor of factorization in QCD
Abstract
We address the possibility in factorization proofs that low-energy collinear gluons can couple to soft gluons.
