 +==== Hemisphere quark/gluon definitions in e+e- ====
 +
 +  * Consider the case of e+ e- -> q qbar.  Partition event into (thrust) hemisphere, define hemisphere flavor by summing over flavors of hemisphere constituents.
 +  * At LO, we can unambiguously define hemisphere flavors.
 +  * At NLO, we can also unambiguously define flavor via hemisphere, though there is now a small gluon fraction from gluon recoiling against q qbar pair.
 +  * At NNLO, things are more complicated.
 +    * Can have soft gluon splitting into q-qbar in different hemispheres,​ creates IRC safety issue.
 +    * One can use a flavored algorithm (BSZ) to define the flavour of two flavor-kt jets
 +    * Ultimately, want to define flavor by the Born-level operator contributing to the process. ​ All subtleties are formally power suppressed.
 +
 +==== Flavored Jet Algorithms ====
 +
 +  * This is a topic worthy of its own study.
 +  * For pp collisions, multiple possible uses of flavored jet algorithms.
 +  * One can just run flavor-kT
 +  * Or one can run flavor-kT to define flavor ghosts, and run standard anti-kT.
