Abstract

We consider geometrical properties of the polarized and unpolarized structure functions and provide definition for the bb--dependent structure functions. It is shown that unitarity does not allow factorized form of the structure functions over the xx and bb variables. We conclude that the spin of constituent quark has a significant orbital angular momentum component.
