Description
I will review the status of theoretical predictions for the inclusive Higgs boson cross section at the LHC and discuss the major perturbative sources of theoretical uncertainties. Recently the N3LO QCD corrections at threshold became available in arXiv:1403.4616. I will discuss the numerical impact of this result and its significance towards determining the full N3LO correction.
