Abstract
The Banfi–Marchesini–Smye (BMS) equation accounts for resummation of nonglobal logarithms to all orders in perturbation theory in the large-\({{{\text{N}}}_{{\text{c}}}}\) approximation. We show that the squared amplitudes for the emission of soft energy-ordered gluons are correctly embedded in this equation, and explicitly verify that they coincide with those derived in our previous work in the large-\({{{\text{N}}}_{{\text{c}}}}\) limit up to sixth order in the strong coupling. We perform analytical calculations for the nonglobal logarithms up to fourth order for the specific hemisphere mass distribution in \({{e}^{ + }}{{e}^{ - }}\) collisions, thus confirming our previous semi-numerical results. We show that the solution to the BMS equation may be cast into a product of an infinite number of exponentials each of whichresums a class of Feynman diagrams that manifest a symmetry pattern, and explicitly carry out the computation of the first of these exponentials.

Notes
When permuting the irreducible parts, e.g. \(\bar {\mathcal{W}}_{{ijk}}^{{{\text{RRR}}}}\), the indices must always be ordered such that \(i < j < k\).
The Feynman diagrams corresponding to these terms look like a ladder (see Fig. 1).
Notice that the evolution parameter \(t\) is denoted as \(\delta \) in [3].
