The generalized parton distribution functions and the nucleon spin sum rules in the chiral quark soliton model
Abstract
The theoretical predictions are given for the forward limit of the unpolarized spin-flip isovector generalized parton distribution function within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model, with full inclusion of the polarization of Dirac sea quarks. We observe that has a sharp peak around , which we interpret as a signal of the importance of the pionic excitation with large spatial extension in the transverse direction. Another interesting indication given by the predicted distribution in combination with Ji's angular momentum sum rule is that the -quark carries more angular momentum than the -quark in the proton, which may have some relation with the physics of the violation of the Gottfried sum rule.
