It is shown that twist-3 fragmentation functions in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD obey the DGLAP evolution equations. The anomalous dimensions are found explicitly. The Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity is violated at the twist-3 level in the…

We prove that the twist-3 chiral-odd parton distributions obey simple GLAP evolution equations in the limit $N_c\to\infty$ and give analytic formulae for the corresponding anomalous dimensions. The results are valid to O(1/N_{c}^2) accuracy…
We consider soft gluon evolution in the colour flow basis. We give explicit expressions for the colour structure of the (one-loop) soft anomalous dimension matrix for an arbitrary number of partons, and show how the successive…
The scale evolution of parton distributions is governed by splitting functions. We compute the four-loop splitting functions in perturbative QCD that control the evolution of quark non-singlet distributions. We confirm previous partial…

At small inter-parton distances, double parton distributions receive their dominant contribution from the splitting of a single parton. We compute this mechanism at next-to-leading order in perturbation theory for all colour configurations…

The $Q^2$ evolution of polarised parton distributions at small $x$ is studied. Various analytic approximations are critically discussed. We compare the full evolution with that obtained from the leading-pole approximation to the splitting…
A brief overview is presented of recent developments concerning resummed small-x evolution, based upon the renormalization group equation. The non-singlet and singlet structure functions are discussed for both polarized and unpolarized…
We propose an improvement of the splitting functions at small x which overcomes the apparent problems encountered by the BFKL approach. We obtain a stable expansion for the x-evolution function chi(M) near M=0 by including in it a sequence…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution equation of the singlet part of $g_1(x,Q^2)$ is carried out. The corresponding singlet evolution kernels are calculated explicitely. The leading small-$x$ contribution…

We explore several models of QCD evolution equations simplified by considering only the rapidity dependence of dipole scattering amplitudes, while provisionally neglecting their dependence on transverse coordinates. Our main focus is on the…
