Abstract

After reviewing QCD definitions of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions h1(x,Q2)h_1(x,Q^2) and h_L(x,Q^2), I will summarize the main feature of the recent two results in perturbative QCD: (i) Next-to-leading order Q2Q^2 evolution of h_1(x,Q^2). (ii) Leading order Q^2 evolution of the twist-3 distribution h_L(x,Q^2) and the universal simplification of the Q^2 evolution of all the twist-3 distributions in the large N_c limit.
