Using the Euclidean path-integral formulation for the hadronic tensor, we show that the violation of the Gottfried sum rule does not come from the disconnected quark-loop insertion. Rather, it comes from the connected (quark line) insertion…
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…
We present the scheme-invariant unpolarized and polarized flavor non-singlet evolution equation to N$^3$LO for the structure functions $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and $g_1(x,Q^2)$ including the charm- and bottom quark effects in the asymptotic…
We compare momentum sum rules from unpolarized electroproduction and the spin sum rule for $g_1$ in polarized electroproduction, and their $Q^2$ evolution in the framework of the operator product expansion. Second order effects in…
The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov and Bjorken sum rules are special examples of dispersive sum rules for the spin-dependent structure function G_1(\nu, Q^2) at Q^2=0 and \infty. We generalize these sum rules through studying the virtual-photon…
In deeply virtual exclusive electroproduction to leading order accuracy one accesses generalized parton distributions on their cross-over trajectory. Combining Lorentz covariance and analyticity leads to a family of GPD sum rules, guiding…
We present the results of our QCD analysis for nonsinglet unpolarized quark distributions and structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$. New parameterizations are derived for the nonsinglet quark distributions for the kinematic wide range of $x$ and…
The $Q^2$ evolution of fragmentation function in non-equilibrium QCD by using DGLAP evolution equation may be necessary to study hadron formation from quark-gluon plasma at RHIC and LHC. In this paper we study splitting functions in…
We study the nonperturbative properties of the nucleon's chiral-odd generalized parton distributions (transversity GPDs) in the large-$N_c$ limit of QCD. This includes the parametric ordering of the spin-flavor components, the polynomiality…
We construct the evolution equations for the twist-3 chiral-odd spin independent fracture functions in QCD. The Gribov-Lipatov reciprocity relation is fulfilled at the one-loop level for the quasi-partonic two-particle cut vertices only. It…
I use QCD sum rule ideas to construct models for generalized parton distributions. To this end, the perturbative parts of QCD sum rules for the pion and nucleon electromagnetic form factors are interpreted in terms of GPDs and two models…

The $x$- and $Q^2$-dependences of the Gottfried sum rule $S_G(x,Q^2)$ based on the experimental data on proton and deuteron structure functions are studied. The dependence of $S_G(x,Q^2)$ on $Q^2$ for low $x$ points to flavour asymmetry of…
The phenomenological evidence of quantum statistical effects in parton physics is here briefly summarized, and the recent good results obtained by parameterizing the parton distributions in terms of Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistical…
We investigate some QCD corrections that contribute to the Gross-Llewellyn Smith (GLS) sum rule, but have not been included in previous analyses of it. We first review the techniques by which the xF3 structure function is extracted from…
We present a method to evaluate the pion structure functions from a box diagram calculation. Pion and constituent quark fields are coupled through the simplest pseudoscalar coupling. The gamma^* pi -> q \bar q cross-section is evaluated and…
We describe the N=1 supersymmetric evolution of the parton distributions with coupled gluinos and scalar quarks (Exact Supersymmetric Altarelli Parisi or ESAP). Superymmetric distributions are generated radiatively and studied as a function…
A unified equation for the non-singlet spin dependent structure function $g_1^{ns}(x,Q^2)$ which incorporates the complete leading order Altarelli-Parisi evolution at finite $x$ and double logarithmic $ ln^2(1/x)$ effects at $x \to 0$ is…
This thesis is devoted to the study of some aspects of perturbative QCD, and in particular to the development of high-precision techniques for the extraction of physical parameters such as structure functions, parton distributions, and the…
The order $\alpha_s^2$ perturbative QCD correction to the Gottfried sum rule is obtained. The result is based on numerical calculation of the order $\alpha_s^2$ contribution to the coefficient function and on the new estimate of the…
