A survey is given of recent developments on the resummed small-$x$ evolution, in a framework based on the renormalization group equation, of non--singlet and singlet structure functions in both unpolarized and polarized deep--inelastic…
We calculate the chiral odd quark distributions and the corresponding structure functions $h_T(x,Q^2)$ and $h_L(x,Q^2)$ within the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio chiral soliton model for the nucleon. The $Q^2$ evolution of the twist-2 contributions is…
A theoretical framework is developed to describe the transformation that distributes probability density functions uniformly over space. In one dimension, the cumulative distribution can be used, but does not generalize to higher…
The structure function $g_1(x,Q^2)$ is analysed within the formalism based on unintegrated spin dependent parton distributions incorporating the LO Altarelli-Parisi evolution and the double $ln^2(1/x)$ resummation at low $x$. We…
We present some estimates of T-odd fragmentation and distribution functions, $H_1^\perp$ and $f_{1T}^{\perp}$, evaluated on the basis of a fit on experimental data in p$^\uparrow$p. Assuming the T-odd fragmentation function to be…
In this section, we discuss some basic features of transverse momentum dependent, or unintegrated, parton distribution functions. In particular, when these correlation functions are combined in a factorization formulae with hard processes…
We critically analyse the data available on the reduced cross-section in deeply inelastic $e p$ scattering from the H1 collaboration at HERA. We use available data on the longitudinal structure function to deduce the nature of $\d F_2/\d\ln…
In this article, we study the distribution of values of Dirichlet $L$-functions, the distribution of values of the random models for Dirichlet $L$-functions, and the discrepancy between these two kinds of distributions. For each question,…
We report on a next-to-leading order QCD calculation of the cross section and the spin asymmetry for isolated large-p_T prompt photon production in collisions of transversely polarized protons. Corresponding measurements may be used at RHIC…
The twist-two chirality violating proton structure function $h_1(x)$ measurable in the polarized Drell-Yan process is calculated by means of QCD sum rules at intermediate $x$, $0.3 < x < 0.7$ and $Q^2 \approx 5-10 GeV^2$.
Parton distributions in impact parameter space, which are obtained by Fourier transforming GPDs, exhibit a significant deviation from axial symmetry when the target and/or quark are transversely polarized. Connections between this…
We calculate the leading $1/N_f$ perturbative contributions to the polarized nonsinglet structure functions $g_3$ and $g_5$ to all orders in $\alpha_s$. The contributions from the first renormalon pole are determined. It is a measure for…
We study the polarized structure functions in QCD. We show that $g_T$ which probes helicity flip interactions in hadrons on the light-front indeed measures the QCD dynamics of chiral symmetry breaking. The relation between chiral symmetry…
We consider the value distribution of the difference between logarithms of two symmetric power $L$-functions at $s=\sigma > 1/2$. We prove that certain averages of those values can be written as integrals involving a density function which…
Generalized parton distributions involving transverse polarization are transversely deformed. The deformation of chirally odd GPDs is related to a transversity decomposition of the quark angular momentum. Potential consequences for T-odd…
Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots$ be independent and identically distributed random elements taking values in a separable Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$. With applications for functional data in mind, $\mathbb{H}$ may be regarded as a space of…
Based on the observation of sizeable target-transverse-spin asymmetries in single-hadron and hadron-pair production in Semi-Inclusive measurements of Deep Inelastic Scattering (SIDIS), the chiral-odd transversity quark distribution…
Predictions for the transverse single spin asymmetry (SSA), A_N, are given for the inclusive processes l p(transv. pol.) --> h X and l p(transv. pol.) --> jet + X, which could be measured in operating or future experiments. These estimates…
We present a generalisation of the double-logarithmic equation for the anomalous dimension of the non-singlet unpolarized twist-2 operators in QCD. Using the known three-loop result, this generalisation allows to predict a small x expansion…
