After reviewing QCD definitions of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distributions $h_1(x,Q^2)$ and h_L(x,Q^2), I will summarize the main feature of the recent two results in perturbative QCD: (i) Next-to-leading order $Q^2$ evolution of…
We investigate the $Q^{2}$-evolution of the chiral-odd spin-dependent parton distribution $h_{L}(x, Q^{2})$ relevant for the polarized Drell-Yan processes. The results are obtained in the leading logarithmic order in the framework of the…
We present a systematic study of twist-3 light-cone distribution amplitudes of vector mesons in QCD, which is based on conformal expansion. A complete set of distribution amplitudes is constructed for \rho, \omega, K^* and \phi mesons,…
We study the scale dependence of twist-3 distributions defined with chirality-odd quark-gluon operators. To derive the scale dependence we explicitly calculate these distributions of multi-parton states instead of a hadron. Taking one-loop…

We study the Q^2 evolution of the nucleon's chiral-odd twist-3 distribution h_L(x,Q^2) starting from the MIT bag model calculation. A simple GLAP equation for h_L(x,Q^2) obtained at large N_c is used for the Q^2 evolution. The correction…

The nucleon distribution amplitudes and the nucleon-to-pion transition distribution amplitudes are investigated at leading twist within the frame of a light-cone quark model. The distribution amplitudes probe the three-quark component of…
We formulate a consistent 1/N_c^2 expansion of the QCD evolution equations for the twist-three quark distributions g_2(x,Q^2), h_L(x,Q^2) and e(x,Q^2) based on the interpretation of the evolution as a three-particle quantum-mechanical…
