Total resummation of leading logarithms of x contributing to the spin-dependent structure function g_1 ensures its steep rise at small x. DGLAP lacks such a resummation. Instead, the DGLAP expressions for g_1 are complemented with special…
We consider the (process-independent) Green function for the BFKL equation in the next-to-leading order approximation, with running coupling, and explain how, within the semi-classical approximation, it is related to Green function of the…
We present a set of formulas to extract two second-order independent differential equations for the gluon and singlet distribution functions. Our results extend from the LO up to NNLO DGLAP evolution equations with respect to the…
We determine the small-$x$ asymptotics of the gluon helicity distribution in a proton at leading order in perturbative QCD at large $N_c$. To achieve this, we begin by evaluating the dipole gluon helicity TMD at small $x$. In the process we…
We address a long standing problem concerning the scale behaviour of parton densities in the low $x$, low $Q^2$ domain. We emphasize the important role of absorptive corrections at low $x$ and use knowledge of diffractive deep inelastic…
The complete soft-enhanced and virtual-gluon contributions are derived for the quark coefficient functions in semi-inclusive e^+e^- annihilation to the third order in massless perturbative QCD. These terms enable us to extend the soft-gluon…
A generalization of the leading-order DGLAP evolution at small x is performed for the non-singlet structure function by resumming the leading-order DGLAP anomalous dimension to all orders in the QCD coupling. Explicit expressions are…

We examine the effect of using an angular ordered evolution equation for the unintegrated gluon distribution at small x.
We investigate the power-suppressed corrections to fragmentation functions in flavour-singlet deep inelastic lepton scattering, to complement the previous results for the non-singlet contribution. Our method is a dispersive approach based…
In this talk we examine how one-loop soft and collinear splitting functions occur in the calculation of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) corrections to production rates, and we present the one-loop gluon soft and splitting functions,…
We extend the results of Lappi {\em et al.}, Eur.~Phys.~J.~C {\bf 84}, 84 (2024), to show that it is possible to obtain expressions for the longitudinal, singlet and gluon structure functions $F_L$, $F_S$ and $G$ in deep inelastic…
Recent data on the structure function F_2(x,Q^2) at small values of x are analysed and compared with theoretical expectations. It is shown that the observed rise at small x is consistent with a logarithmic increase, growing logarithmically…
The low $x$ behaviour of the gluon density $xg(x,\mu^2)$ at scale $\mu^2=2.4$ GeV$^2$ is determined using exclusive $J/\psi$ production data from HERA and LHCb within the framework of collinear factorisation at next-to-leading order (NLO).…
We calculate twist--4 coefficient functions for the deep inelastic structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ associated to 4--gluon operator matrix elements for general values of the Bjorken variable $x$ and study the numerical effect on the slope…
We perform the fit to the structure function $F_2$ data from HERA including terms due to the resummation at small $x$. The equation for the unintegrated gluon density is solved, previously established within the renormalization group…
In the leading twist approximation of the Wilson operator product expansion with standard and "frozen" versions of strong copling constant we show that the Bessel-inspired behavior of the structure function $F_2$ at small $x$, obtained for…
We report the results of including resummed splitting functions in the QCD evolution equations at small x, and discuss the predictions that follow for the deep inelastic structure functions. *Contribution at XXX Rencontres de Moriond, Les…
We review the latest information that is available about the parton distributions of the proton, paying particular attention to the determination of the gluon. We briefly describe the various processes that have been advocated to be a…
