Infrared subtraction at next-to-next-to-leading order for gluonic initial states

In this thesis we describe a procedure for isolating the infrared singularities present in gluonic scattering amplitudes at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading order. We adopted the antenna subtraction framework which has been successfully applied to the calculation of NNLO corrections to th...
