We determine the two-loop 'time-like' Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions, appearing in the next-to-leading order Q^2-evolution equations for fragmentation functions, via analytic continuation of the corresponding 'space-like' splitting…
We recalculate the next-to-leading order Altarelli-Parisi kernel using a method which relates it to the splitting amplitudes describing the collinear factorization properties of scattering amplitudes. The method breaks up the calculation of…
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 double logarithmic terms $\alpha_{s} \ln^{2}x $ are important to predict precisely the small $x$ behavior of the spin structure function $g_{1}$. We numerically analyze the evolution of the flavor non-singlet $g_{1}$ including the…
We develop a simplified method for obtaining higher orders in the perturbative expansion of the singular term A(\alpha_s)/[1-x]_+ of non-singlet partonic splitting functions. Our method is based on the calculation of eikonal diagrams. The…
We present calculations of the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2) and F_L(x,Q^2), concentrating on small x. After discussing the standard expansion of the structure functions in powers of \alpha_s(Q^2) we consider a leading-order expansion in…
It is widely believed that at small x, the BFKL resummed gluon splitting function should grow as a power of 1/x. But in several recent calculations it has been found to decrease for moderately small-x before eventually rising. We show that…
We discuss the combined effect of QED and QCD corrections to the evolution of parton distributions. We extend the available knowledge of the Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions to one order higher in QED, and provide explicit expressions…
We compute the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) contributions to the splitting functions governing the evolution of the unpolarized flavour-singlet parton densities in perturbative QCD. The exact expressions are presented in both…
We construct an anomalous dimension for small x evolution which goes beyond standard fixed order perturbative evolution by including resummed small x logarithms deduced from the leading order BFKL equation with running coupling.…

In this paper the spin-dependent singlet and non-singlet structure functions have been obtained by solving Dokshitzer-Gribov-Lipatov-Altarelli-Parisi evolution equations in next-to-leading order in the small x limit. Here we have used…
We examine the large-order behaviour of a recently proposed renormalization-group-improved expansion of the Adler function in perturbative QCD, which sums in an analytically closed form the leading logarithms accessible from…
The small $x$ behavior of the flavor non-singlet $g_{1}$ structure function is analysed numerically by taking into account the all-order resummation of $\alpha_{s} \ln^{2}x $ terms. We include a part of the next-to-leading logarithmic…
The resummation of $O(\alpha_s^{l+1} \ln^{2l} x)$ terms in the evolution kernels of non--singlet combinations of unpolarized and polarized structure functions is investigated. The agreement with complete calculations up to order…

This talk reviews some recent results on the NLL resummed small-x gluon splitting function, as determined including renormalisation-group improvements. It also discusses the observation that the LO, NLO, NNLO, etc. hierarchy for the gluon…
The small $x$ behaviour of the structure function $h_1(x,Q^2)$ is studied within the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. There are two contributions relevant at small $x$. The leading one behaves like $(\frac{1}{x})^0$…
