After reviewing QCD definitions of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions $h_1(x,Q^2)$ and h_L(x,Q^2), I will summarize the main feature of the recent two results in perturbative QCD: (i) Next-to-leading order $Q^2$ evolution of…

The transverse nucleon spin can be transferred to the quarks and gluons in several ways. In the factorizing, hard scattering processes to be considered, these are parameterized at leading twist by the transversity distribution function and…
Mechanism for the single transverse spin asymmeties in the pion production, p^\uparrow + p'\to \pi(\ell_T) + X, and the \Lambda hyperon polarization, p + p' \to \Lambda^\uparrow (\ell_T)+ X, is investigated in the framework of QCD…

We prove that the twist-3 chiral-odd parton distributions obey simple GLAP evolution equations in the limit $N_c\to\infty$ and give analytic formulae for the corresponding anomalous dimensions. The results are valid to O(1/N_{c}^2) accuracy…
In the semiclassical approach, inclusive and diffractive quark and gluon distributions are expressed in terms of correlation functions of Wilson loops. Each Wilson loop integrates the colour field strength in the area between the…

We calculate the one-loop twist-3 gluon contribution to the flavor-singlet structure function g_2(x,Q^2) in polarized deep-inelastic scattering and find that it is dominated by the contribution of the three-gluon operator with the lowest…
The higher twist corrections $h^N(x)/Q^2$ to the spin dependent proton and neutron $g_1$ structure functions are extracted from the world data on $g_1(x,Q^2)$ in a model independent way and found to be non-negligible. Their role in…
