Abstract

We perform a systematic operator product expansion of the most general form of the nucleon scattering tensor WμνW_{\mu \nu} including electro-magnetic and weak interaction processes. Finite quark masses are taken into account and a number of higher-twist corrections are included. In this way we derive relations between the lowest moments of all 14 structure functions and matrix elements of local operators. Besides reproducing well-known results, new sum rules for parity-violating polarized structure functions and new mass correction terms are obtained.
