Abstract

We calculate the massless unpolarized Wilson coefficients for deeply inelastic scattering for the structure functions F2(x,Q2),FL(x,Q2),xF3(x,Q2)F_2(x,Q^2), F_L(x,Q^2), x F_3(x,Q^2) in the MS\overline{\sf MS} scheme and the polarized Wilson coefficients of the structure function g1(x,Q2)g_1(x,Q^2) in the Larin scheme up to three--loop order in QCD in a fully automated way based on the method of arbitrary high Mellin moments. We work in the Larin scheme in the case of contributing axial--vector couplings or polarized nucleons. For the unpolarized structure functions we compare to results given in the literature. The polarized three--loop Wilson coefficients are calculated for the first time. As a by--product we also obtain the quarkonic three--loop anomalous dimensions from the O(1/ε)O(1/\varepsilon) terms of the unrenormalized forward Compton amplitude. Expansions for small and large values of the Bjorken variable xx are provided.
