In the kinematic region where three particles i, j, k are collinear, the multi-parton scattering amplitudes factorise into a product of a triple collinear splitting function and a multi-parton scattering amplitude with two fewer particles. These trip... Read More about Decomposition of triple collinear splitting functions.
