Description
Precise theoretical predictions for Higgs observables are of paramount importance for the Higgs-physics program at the upcoming Run II of the LHC. Such computations are notoriously difficult, and require the use of a whole variety of cutting-edge techniques in mathematics and physics. I will discuss recent predictions for the Higgs production cross section at hadron colliders, focusing on the recent determination of the inclusive cross section to N3LO in perturbative QCD.
