We review the computation of the anomalous dimensions of the twist-2 unpolarized operators in the large N_f expansion. Results are discussed for the predominantly gluonic singlet operator and the O(1/N_f) part of the 3-loop splitting…
We study the factorization relations between quasi gluon GPDs and twist-2 GPDs. The perturbative coefficient functions are obtained at one-loop level. They are free from any collinear- or I.R. divergences. Unlike the case of the…
Off-shell effects in generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the pion, appearing, e.g., in the Sullivan process, are considered. Due to the lack of crossing symmetry, the moments of GPDs involve also odd powers of the skewness…
We study the four-gluon scattering amplitude in the high energy limit of QCD written in terms of its conformal expansion. We highlight the need to include both even and odd conformal spin contributions in order to map it to an iterative…
We examine the large-x QCD evolution of the twist-three gluonic-pole strength defining an effective T-odd Sivers function, where evolution of the T-even transverse-spin DIS structure function g2 is multiplicative. The result corresponds to…

In this paper we study the renormalization of the product of two operators $O_1=-\frac{1}{4} G^{\mu \nu}G_{\mu \nu}$ in QCD. An insertion of two such operators $O_1(x)O_1(0)$ into a Greens function produces divergent contact terms for…

We give a brief overview of the physics of gluonic degrees of freedom associated with the strong (QCD) axial anomaly. The role of this anomalous glue in the spin structure of the proton and eta'-hadron interactions is discussed.
A QCD analysis of the world data on polarized deep inelastic scattering is presented in leading and next-to-leading order. New parameterizations are derived for the quark and gluon distributions for the kinematic range $x \epsilon…
The standard formulation of parton physics involves light-cone correlations of quark and gluon fields in a hadron, which leads to a widespread impression that it can only be studied through real-time Hamiltonian dynamics or light-front…
The longitudinal single-target spin asymmetry in exclusive $\pi^0$ production in $ep$ collisions is a sensitive probe of the imaginary part of the gluon generalized transverse momentum dependent distribution $F_{1,4}^g$. It appears as a…
Our previous calculation of the spin-dependent structure function g_2 is revisited. The interest in this structure function is to a great extent motivated by the fact that it receives contributions from twist-two as well as from twist-three…
QCD motivated polarized parton distributions, evolved directly in $x$-space, are used to predict rates for prompt photon production at RHIC centre of mass energies. Various scenarios for the polarized gluon distributions are considered and…
It is shown that odd harmonic azimuthal correlations, including the directed flow $v_1$, in forward two-particle production in peripheral proton-nucleus ($pA$) collisions can arise simply from the radial nuclear profile of a large nucleus.…
The focus of this talk is on the transverse components of parton momenta. Like for collinear parton distribution functions (PDFs), we are also in the case of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) PDFs, talking about forward matrix elements.…
