In a nonstandard way we split up the polarized quark distributions $g_T$ and $h_L$ into their twist-two, quark-mass, and interaction-dependent parts, emphasizing the sensitivity to quark intrinsic transverse momentum. We show how to derive…

We calculate the two leading-twist transverse momentum dependent distribution functions of the pion meson, the unpolarized distribution $f_{1\pi}(x,\bm{k}^2_T)$ and the Boer-Mulders function $h_{1\pi}^\perp (x,\bm{k}^2_T)$, using the pion…
We revisit the standard representation of the (inverse) Radon transform which is well-known in the mathematical literature. We extend this representation to the case involving the parton distributions. We have found the new additional…
The typical transverse momentum of a quark in the proton is a basic property of any QCD based model of nucleon structure. However, calculations in phenomenological models typically give rather small values of transverse momenta, which are…
We present the results for the Generalized Transverse Momentum Distribution related to quark Orbital Angular Momentum, {\it i.e.} $F_{14}$, in the MIT bag model. This model has been modified to include the Peierls--Yoccoz projection to…

Applying arguments based on the operator product expansion for a three-point correlator and relying on quark-hadron duality, we derive an expression for the skewed (non-forward) parton distribution in the pion in the case of a…
A new type of parametrization for parton distribution functions in a proton, based on their $Q^2$-evolution at large and small $x$ values, is constructed. In our analysis, the valence and nonsinglet parts obey the Gross-Llewellyn-Smith and…
Mellin moments of off-forward distribution functions are even polynomials of the skewedness parameter. This constraint, called polynomiality property, follows from Lorentz- and time-reversal invariance. We prove that the unpolarized…
The recent measurements of azimuthal single spin asymmetries by the HERMES collaboration has opened up new possibility to measure chiral-odd distribution functions through semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scatterings. Here, predictions are…
The so-called time-reversal odd distribution functions are known to be non-vanishing in QCD due to the presence of the link operator in the definition of these quantities. I show that T-odd distributions can be non-vanishing also in chiral…
We derive the time-reversal modified universality for both quark and gluon Sivers function from the parity and time-reversal invariance of QCD. We calculate the single transverse-spin asymmetry of inclusive lepton from the decay of $W$…
The moments of the heavy quark-parton distribution functions in a heavy pseudoscalar meson are calculated from QCD sum rules. Expanding these sum rules in the inverse heavy quark mass we obtain the heavy-mass limits of the moments.…
We test the parton model approach to inclusive $B \ra \gamma X_s$ and $B \ra e \bar{\nu} X_u$ processes by calculating a few moments of the distribution function. The $1/m_Q$ expansion of $b$-quark distribution function is discussed. We…
