Abstract

I derive an all-order resummation formula for the logarithmically enhanced contributions proportional to αsnx±ξlog(ξ±x2ξ)k\frac{\alpha_s^n}{x \pm \xi} \log (\frac{\xi \pm x}{2\xi})^k in the quark coefficient function of deeply-virtual-Compton scattering and the pion-photon transition form factor in momentum space. The resummation is performed at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The key observation is that the quark coefficient function itself factorizes in the x±ξx \rightarrow \pm \xi limit, which allows for a resummation using renormalization group equations. A preliminary numerical analysis suggests that the corrections due to resummation for the quark contribution might be small.
