We study the resummation of the 0-jettiness resolution variable $ \mathcal{T} _{0}$ for the top-quark pair production process in hadronic collisions. Starting from an effective theory framework we derive a factorisation formula for this observable which allows its resummation at any logarithmic order in the $ \mathcal{T} _{0}$ ��� 0 limit. We then calculate the $ \mathcal{O} $(��$_{s}$) corrections to the soft function matrices and, by employing renormalisation group equation methods, we obtain the ingredients for the resummation formula up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL) accuracy. We study the impact of these corrections to the 0-jettiness distribution by comparing predictions at different accuracy orders: NLL, NLL���, NNLL and approximate NNLL��� ($ {\mathrm{NNLL}}_{\mathrm{a}}^{\prime } $). We match these results to the corresponding fixed order calculations both at leading order and next-to-leading order for the t$ \overline{t} $+jet production process, obtaining the most accurate prediction of the 0-jettiness distribution for the top-quark pair production process at $ {\mathrm{NNLL}}_{\mathrm{a}}^{\prime } $+NLO accuracy.
