We discuss various azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive DIS and e^+e^- ==> h1 h2 X which involve chiral odd quantities like the transversity distribution h_1 and a fragmentation function H_1^\perp. For the fragmentation described by…
We describe how to calculate the parton distributions $f_a(x, k_t^2, \mu^2)$, unintegrated over the parton transverse momentum $k_t$, from auxiliary functions $h_a(x, k_t^2)$, which satisfy single-scale evolution equations. The formalism…

This paper studies the local spacings of deformations of the Riemann zeta function under certain averaging and differencing operations. For real h it considers A_h(s)= 1/2(xi(s+h)+ xi(s-h)) and B_h(s)=1/(2i)(xi(s+h)-xi(s-h)), where xi(s) is…

This remark is part of an ongoing project to simplify the structure of the multi-loop anomalous dimensions for parton distributions and fragmentation functions. It answers the call for a "structural explanation" of a "very suggestive"…
We review the present status of polarized structure functions measured in deep-inelastic scattering. We discuss the x and Q^2 dependence of the structure function g_1, and how it can be used to test perturbative QCD at next-to-leading order…
The role of various symmetries in the evaluation of splitting functions and coefficient functions is discussed. The scale invariance in hard processes is known to be a guiding tool to understand the dynamics. We discuss the constraints on…

Impact parameter dependent parton distributions are transversely distorted when one considers transversely polarized nucleons and/or quarks. This provides a physical mechanism for the T-odd Sivers effect in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic…
