High-energy physics processes at the TeV scale—relevant for future colliders and cosmological contexts—exhibit electroweak (EW) corrections that are enhanced by large double logarithms of the form $\alpha \log^2(Q^2/M^2)$. We review the infrared origin of these corrections and explain their presence as a consequence of the violation of general theorems (Bloch-Nordsieck and Kinoshita-Lee-Nauenberg). Furthermore, we analyze the evolution equations for structure functions, induced by EW interactions (the EW DGLAP equations).
