Violation of Sum Rules for Twist-3 Parton Distributions

Abstract

Sum rules for twist-3 distributions are reexamined. Integral relations between twist-3 and twist-2 parton distributions suggest the possibility for a δ\delta-function at x=0x=0. We confirm and clarify this result by constructing hLh_L and hL3h_L^3 (quark-gluon interaction dependent part of hLh_L) explicitly from their moments for a one-loop dressed massive quark. The physics of these results is illustrated by calculating hL(x,Q2)h_L(x,Q^2) using light-front time-ordered pQCD to O(αS){O}(\alpha_S) on a quark target.
