I'll review how infrared divergences arise in perturbative amplitudes with massless particles For fixed-angle and forward scattering, introducing Landau equations, Coleman-Norton Physical pictures and power counting as tools. In gauge theories, this analysis leads to factorized expressions, closely related to effective theory descriptions of the amplitudes.
