We consider variants of dimensional regularization, including the four-dimensional helicity scheme (FDH) and dimensional reduction (DRED), and present the gluon and quark form factors in the FDH scheme at next-to-next-to-leading order. We also discus
s the generalization of the infrared factorization formula to FDH and DRED. This allows us to extract the cusp anomalous dimension as well as the quark and gluon anomalous dimensions at next-to-next-to-leading order in the FDH and DRED scheme, using $overline{text{MS}}$ and $overline{text{DR}}$ renormalization. To obtain these results we also present the renormalization procedure in these schemes.
We discuss how to apply regularization by dimensional reduction for computing hadronic cross sections at next-to-leading order. We analyze the infrared singularity structure, demonstrate that there are no problems with factorization, and show how to
use dimensional reduction in conjunction with standard parton distribution functions. We clarify that differe
