Abstract
We present analytic results for one-loop Higgs boson + n-gluon amplitudes for n ≤ 5 in the full theory including all dependence on the (top) quark mass. In this paper we consider only the case where the gluons all have the same helicity. The amplitudes are expressed in simple formula and display similar structure. Their limiting behaviour in small Higgs momentum and large top mass is studied.
