The present talk summarises the 1993 situation in understanding the spin structure of the nucleon via electron and muon polarised deep--inelastic scattering (PDIS). The central question I shall address here is if the data can be interpreted…

We report on a high statistics quenched lattice QCD calculation of the deep-inelastic structure functions $F_1$, $F_2$, $g_1$ and $g_2$ of the proton and neutron. The theoretical basis for the calculation is the operator product expansion.…
The $Q^2$ evolution of polarised parton fragmentation functions is discussed using Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations. The first moments of both polarised quark and gluon fragmentation functions are shown to behave in a similar fashion at…
We discuss the effect of QED corrections in the evolution of polarized parton distributions. We solve the corresponding evolution equations exactly to ${\cal O}(\alpha )$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^2)$ in Mellin $N$-space, extending the…
The theoretical status of the `proton spin' effect is reviewed. The conventional QCD parton model analysis of polarised DIS is compared with a complementary approach, the composite operator propagator-vertex (CPV) method, each of which…
We discuss the bounds on polarized parton distributions which follow from their definition in terms of cross section asymmetries. We spell out how the bounds obtained in the naive parton model can be derived within perturbative QCD at…
We recall how parton distributions are constructed in a statistical physical picture of the nucleon. The chiral properties of QCD lead to strong relations between quarks and antiquarks distributions and the importance of the Pauli exclusion…
The polarized nucleon structure function in the nonsinglet case is investigated here by a new insight rather than conventional perturbative QCD (pQCD). For this purpose we note that the solution of the evolution equations in moment space…
The parton momentum density distributions in the proton are determined from a next-to-leading order QCD analysis of structure functions measured at HERA and by fixed target experiments. Also included are data on the difference of the up and…
