We consider a new approach for taking into account the Q2 dependence of asymmetry A_1. This approach is based on the similarity of the Q2 behavior and the shape of the spin-dependent structure function g_1(x,Q^2) and spin averaged structure…

We derive a second-order linear differential equation for the leading order gluon distribution function G(x,Q^2) = xg(x,Q^2) which determines G(x,Q^2) directly from the proton structure function F_2^p(x,Q^2). This equation is derived from…
The twist-three distributions $g_2(x)$ and $h_2(x)$ are defined as quark-field matrix elements between polarized hadron states. They can be written in terms of quark-mass and gluonic operators, after which the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule…
Nuclear parton distributions and structure functions are determined in an effective chiral quark theory. We also discuss an extension of our model to fragmentation functions.
We present an update of a phenomenological model for the spin dependent structure functions $g_1(x,Q^2)$ of the proton and neutron. This model is based on a broken SU(6) wavefunction parametrized by the unpolarized structure functions. The…
We comment on the uniqueness of t-evolution$(t=log(Q^2/\Lambda^2))$ of non-singlet structure functions at low x obtained fromDGLAP equations.

We present the first next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^3$LO) calculation of the twist-2 matching coefficients for transverse momentum dependent (TMD) quark transversity parton distribution and fragmentation functions in QCD. This…
We explore the application of a two-component model of proton structure functions in the analysis of deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) data at low $Q^2$ and small $x$. This model incorporates both vector meson dominance and the correct…
We discuss the relations between the twist 2 and twist 3 contributions to polarized deep-inelastic scattering structure functions both for neutral and charged current interactions which are predicted by the operator product expansion in…
We formulate the momentum-space Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations for structure functions measurable in deeply inelastic scattering. We construct a six-dimensional basis of structure functions that…
We have investigated skewed parton distributions in coordinate space. We found that their evolution can be described in a simple manner in terms of non-local, conformal operators introduced by Balitsky and Braun. The resulting formula is…
Theoretical expectations concerning small $x$ behaviour of the spin dependent structure function $g_1$ are summarised. This includes discussion of the Regge pole model predictions and of the double $ln^2(1/x)$ effects implied by…
The non-singlet and singlet anomalous dimensions of the twist--2 light-ray operators for unpolarized and polarized deep inelastic scattering are calculated in $O(\alpha_s)$. We apply these results for the derivation of evolution equations…

$Q^2$ evolution of the structure functions $F_2$ in tin and carbon nuclei is investigated in order to understand recent NMC measurements. $F_2$ is evolved by using leading-order DGLAP, next-to-leading-order DGLAP, and parton-recombination…
We clarify the nonperturbative origin of the $\delta$-function singularity at $x = 0$ in the chiral-odd twist-3 distribution function $e(x)$ of the nucleon. We also compare a theoretical prediction for $e(x)$ based on the chiral quark…
