We study the three positivity constraints among the eight virtual photon structure functions, derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and which are hence model-independent. The photon structure functions obtained from the simple parton…
We discuss the perturbatively calculable virtual photon structure functions. First we present the framework for analyzing the structure functions of the virtual photon and derive a first moment of $g_1^\gamma$ of the virtual photon. We then…
Photon structure functions in supersymmetric QCD are investigated in terms of the parton model where squark contributions are evaluated. We calculate the eight virtual photon structure functions by taking the discontinuity of the squark…
The implications of the positivity constraint, $|g_1^{\gamma(P^2)}(x,Q^2)| \leq F_1^{\gamma(P^2)}(x,Q^2)$, on the presently unknown spin--dependent structure function $g_1^{\gamma(P^2)}(x,Q^2)$ of real and virtual photons are studied at…
The implications of the positivity constraint on the presently unknown polarized structure function of the photon, $g_1^{\gamma}(x,Q^2)$, are studied in detail. In particular the non-trivial consequences of this constraint,…
Characterizing in a constructive way the set of real functions whose Fourier transforms are positive appears to be yet an open problem. Some sufficient conditions are known but they are far from being exhaustive. We propose two constructive…
Effective field theories (EFT) are strongly constrained by fundamental principles such as unitarity, locality, causality, and Lorentz invariance. In this paper, we consider the EFT of photons (or other $U(1)$ gauge field) and compare…
In this article aspects of photon-photon physics related to the structure of real and virtual photons are reviewed. A re-calculation of the virtual photon-photon box is performed and some discrepancies in the literature are clarified. A…
Measurements sensitive to the structure of both real and virtual photons are presented and compared to theoretical models with various photon parton distribution functions (PDFs). Measurements for real photons show a tendency for the…
The structure functions F_2 and F_1 of real photon at low virtualities are calculated in the framework of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) in the zero and first order of ChPT. It is assumed that the virtuality of hard projectile photon Q^2…
We evolve virtual photon parton densities up to the SUSY threshold and higher using coupled inhomogeneous DGLAP differential equations. Reliable input parameterizations were available from the c-quark threshold. Limited $P^2$ ( target…
We study the virtual photon structure functions from gauge/string duality. If the Bjorken variable x is not small, supergravity approximation becomes good in dual string theory. We calculate the virtual photon structure functions at large…
Development of concepts related to the photon and its high energy hadronic interaction is briefly reviewed. A photon considered as an ideal probe of hadron structure, paradoxically is also considered as an ideal target to test the…
The photon structure function is a useful testing ground for QCD. It is perturbatively computable apart from a contribution from what is usually called the hadronic component of the photon. There have been many proposals for this…
We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…
Destructive interference-based photon-phonon antibunching can lead to violations of classical inequalities in optomechanical cavity systems. In this paper, we explore the violation of the classical Cauchy-Schwarz inequality by examining…
Structure of the space of photonic states is discussed in the context of a working hypothesis of existence of a preferred frame for photons. Two polarisation experiments are proposed to test the preferred frame scenario.
We investigate twist-3 effects in the polarized virtual photon. The structure function $g_2^\gamma$, which exists only for the virtual photon target and can be measured in future polarized $e^+ e^-$ collider experiments, receives both…
Positivity bounds - constraints on any low-energy effective field theory imposed by the fundamental axioms of unitarity, causality and locality in the UV - have recently been used to constrain scalar-tensor theories of dark energy. However,…
We point out that in processes involving the parton content of the photon the usual effective photon approximation should be modified. The reason is that the parton content of virtual photons is logarithmically suppressed compared to real…
