The instanton vacuum picture is used to study hadronic matrix elements of the twist-3 (dimension-4, spin-1) QCD operators measuring the quark spin density and spin-orbit correlations. The QCD operators are converted to effective operators…
We compute the nucleon matrix elements of QCD operators of twist 3 and 4 in the instanton vacuum. We consider the operators determining 1/Q^2-power corrections to the Bjorken, Ellis-Jaffe and Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rules. The nucleon is…
We unravel the structure of the spectrum of the anomalous dimensions of the quark-gluon twist-3 operators which are responsible for the multiparton correlations in hadrons and enter as a leading contribution to several physical cross…
We study the scale dependence of twist-3 distributions defined with chirality-odd quark-gluon operators. To derive the scale dependence we explicitly calculate these distributions of multi-parton states instead of a hadron. Taking one-loop…
We discuss the implications of a "constituent quark" structure of the nucleon for the leading (1/Q^2-) power corrections to the spin structure functions. Our basic assumption is the presence of quark-gluon correlations in the nucleon wave…
We study the spin-flavor structure of the nucleon's chiral-odd generalized parton distributions (transversity GPDs) in the large-N_c limit of QCD. In contrast to the chiral-even case, only three combinations of the four chiral-odd GPDs are…
We compute the leading non-analytic quark mass dependence of the matrix elements of isovector twist-2 operators between octet baryon states in quenched QCD using quenched chiral perturbation theory. There are contributions of the form m_q…
We discuss the QCD effects of the higher-twist operators in the nucleon spin-dependent structure functions measured by the polarized deep inelastic leptoproduction. We particularly study the renormalization of the twist-3 and twist-4…
We present a QCD analysis of the twist-three parton distribution functions associated with the spin-orbit correlation of quarks and gluons in spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ and spin-0 hadrons. We derive exact non-perturbative identities decomposing the…
We carry out a systematic investigation of twist-two spin dependent structure functions of the nucleon within the framework of the chiral quark soliton model (CQSM) by paying special attention to the role of chiral symmetry of QCD. The…
A dominant QCD mechanism for the single transverse-spin asymmetry in hard processes is induced by the twist-3 quark-gluon correlations inside nucleon, combined with the soft-gluonic poles to produce the interfering phase for the associated…
We investigate the spin structure function $g_2 (x, Q^2 )$ in the framework of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group. The twist-3 operators appearing in QCD are examined and their relations are studied. It is noted…
A compelling feature of relativistic mean-field phenomenology has been the reproduction of spin-orbit splittings in finite nuclei after fitting only to equilibrium properties of infinite nuclear matter. This successful result occurs when…
Top quark pairs are produced with strongly correlated spins in the partonic reactions $q\bar{q}\to t\bar{t}$ and $gg\to t\bar{t}$. A complete description of these effects in terms of the spin density matrix of the $t\bar{t}$ system in…
The spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry implies the presence of a short-distance scale in the QCD vacuum, which phenomenologically may be associated with the "size" of the constituent quark, rho ~ 0.3 fm. We discuss the role of this…
We investigate the renormalization of the twist-3 operators which are relevant for the spin-dependent structure function $g_{2}(x, Q^{2})$. We derive the anomalous dimension for the non-singlet part by calculating the off-shell Green's…
The spin-dependent operators for heavy quarkonium hybrids have been recently obtained in a nonrelativistic effective field theory approach up to next-to-leading order in the heavy-quark mass expansion. In the effective field theory for…
We develop a general theoretical framework for the description of higher-twist baryon operators which makes maximal use of the conformal symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian. The conformal operator basis is constructed for all twists. The…
It is shown in the framework of the operator product expansion and the renormalization group method that the twist-3 part of flavour nonsinglet spin structure function g_2(x,Q^2) obeys a simple Dokshitzer-Gribov- Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi…
The vacuum is now understood to possess a rich and complex structure, characterized by fluctuating energy fields and a condensate of virtual quark-antiquark pairs. The spontaneous breaking of the approximate chiral symmetry, signaled by the…
