Violation of Sum Rules for Twist-3 Parton Distributions in QCD

Sum rules for twist-3 distributions are reexamined. Integral relations between twist-3 and twist-2 parton distributions suggest the possibility for a $\delta$-function at $x=0$. We confirm and clarify this result by constructing $h_L$ and $h_L^3$ (quark-gluon interaction dependent part of $h_L$) explicitly from their moments for a one-loop dressed massive quark. The physics of these results is illustrated by calculating $h_L(x,Q^2)$ using light-front time-ordered pQCD to ${\cal O}(\alpha_S)$ on a quark target. A $\delta(x)$ term is also found in $e(x,Q^2)$, but not in $g_T(x,Q^2)$, to this order in ${\cal O}(\alpha_S)$.
