Precise measurements of polarized electro-production and Drell-Yan in the deep inelastic limit will soon provide first information on the higher twist parton distributions $g_T(x)$ and $h_L(x)$. Sum rules for higher-twist structure…

Sum rules for structure functions and their twist-2 relations have important roles in constraining their magnitudes and $x$ dependencies and in studying higher-twist effects. The Wandzura-Wilczek (WW) relation and the Burkhardt-Cottingham…
Multi-parton distributions in a proton, the nonperturbative quantities needed to make predictions for multiple scattering rates, are poorly constrained from theory and data and must be modelled. All Monte Carlo event generators that…

The history and present status of several sum rules for deep-inelastic lepton scattering are reviewed, with particular attention to the discovery of scaling, partons, quarks and QCD. Two outstanding issues are then discussed in more detail:…
Perturbative matching relates the parton quasi-distributions, defined by Euclidean correlators at finite hadron momenta, to the light-cone distributions which are accessible in experiments. Previous matching calculations have exclusively…
Models for double parton distributions that are realistic and consistent with theoretical constraints are crucial for a reliable description of double parton scattering. We show how an ansatz that has the correct behaviour in the limit of…
We derive a new twist-3 partonic sum rule for the transverse spin of the proton, which involves the well-know quark spin structure function $g_T(x)=g_1(x)+g_2(x)$, the less-studied but known transverse gluon polarization density $\Delta…
The possibility of the first measurement of Bjorken unpolarized sum rule for $F_1$ structure function of $\nu N$ deep-inelastic scattering at Neutrino Factories is commented. The brief summary of various theoretical contributions to this…
We calculate twist-3 parton ditribution functions (PDFs) using cut and uncut diagrams. Uncut diagrams lead to a Dirac delta function term. No such term appears when cut diagrams are used. We show that a $\delta(x)$ is necessary to satisfy…
Transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions are a key ingredient in the description of spin and azimuthal asymmetries in deep-inelastic scattering processes. Recent results from non-perturbative calculations in effective…

We give a unified treatment of dispersive sum rules for four-point correlators in conformal field theory. We call a sum rule dispersive if it has double zeros at all double-twist operators above a fixed twist gap. Dispersive sum rules have…
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…
In a spin-1 hadron, tensor-polarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) exist. The twist-2 function is $f_{1LL}$ and a twist-3 one is $f_{LT}$. Because an experiment is under preparation at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator…
The twist-2 contributions to the polarized structure functions in deep inelastic lepton--hadron scattering are calculated including the exchange of weak bosons and using both the operator product expansion and the covariant parton model. A…
In this paper, we investigate deep inelastic and elastic scattering on a polarized spin-1/2 hadron using gauge/string duality. This spin-1/2 hadron corresponds to a supergravity mode of the dilatino. The polarized deep inelastic structure…
