We present a precise and efficient computation of the two-loop amplitudes entering the Higgs boson pair production process via gluon fusion. Our approach is based on the small-Higgs-mass expansion while keeping the full dependence on the top quark mass and other kinematic invariants. We compare our results to the up-to-date predictions based on a combination of sector decomposition and high-energy expansion. We find that our method provides precision numeric predictions in the entire phase space, while at the same time is highly efficient as the computation can be easily performed on a normal desktop or laptop computer. Our method is valuable for practical phenomenological studies of the Higgs boson pair production process, and can also be applied to other similar processes.

In this paper we present the complete two-loop vertex corrections to scalar and pseudo-scalar Higgs boson production for general colour factors for the gauge group ${rm SU(N)}$ in the limit where the top quark mass gets infinite. We derive a general formula for the vertex correction which holds for conserved and non conserved operators. For the conserved operator we take the electromagnetic vertex correction as an example whereas for the non conserved operators we take the two vertex corrections above. Our observations for the structure of the pole terms $1/epsilon^4$, $1/epsilon^3$ and $1/epsilon^2$ in two loop order are the same as made earlier in the literature for electromagnetism. However we also elucidate the origin of the second order single pole term which is equal to the second order singular part of the anomalous dimension plus a universal function which is the same for the quark and the gluon.

We compute the top quark contribution to the two-loop amplitude for on-shell $Z$ boson pair production in gluon fusion, $gg to ZZ$. Exact dependence on the top quark mass is retained. For each phase space point the integral reduction is performed num erically and the master integrals are evaluated using the auxiliary mass flow method, allowing fast computation of the amplitude with very high precision.
We analyse the loop induced production of Higgs boson pairs at future high--energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, both in the Standard Model and in its minimal supersymmetric extension. The cross sections for Standard Model Higgs pair production through $W/Z$ b oson loops, $ee ra H^0 H^0$, are rather small but the process could be visible for high enough luminosities, especially if longitudinal polarization is made available. In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, the corresponding processes of CP--even or CP--odd Higgs boson pair production, $ee ra hh, HH, Hh$ and $ee ra AA$ have smaller cross sections, in general. The additional contributions from chargino/neutralino and slepton loops are at the level of a few percent in most of the supersymmetric parameter space.
We compute the contribution of third generation quarks ($t, b$) to the two-loop amplitude for on-shell $W$ boson pair production in gluon fusion $gg to WW$. We present plots for the amplitude across partonic phase space as well as reference values fo r two kinematic points. The master integrals are efficiently evaluated by numerically solving a system of ordinary differential equations.
We present the two-loop QCD corrections to the amplitude of the Higgs production associated with a $Z$ boson via the bottom quark-antiquark annihilation channel with a non-vanishing bottom-quark Yukawa coupling. The computation is performed by projec ting the D-dimensional scattering amplitude directly onto a set of Lorentz structures related to the linear polarisation states of the $Z$ boson. We cross-check the finite remainders through a computation based on conventional form factor decomposition. We show that for physical observables, an ultimate D-dimensional form factor decomposition of amplitudes is not necessary which has a huge potential to simplify a multiloop computation. We compute numerically the resulting cross sections under the soft-virtual approximation to NNLO and find it three orders of magnitude smaller than that of the s-channel.
