I review the spin dependent structure functions which control dominant (twist-2) and sub-dominant (twist-3) phenomena in hard processes. Novel effects associated with chirally odd parton distributions and with transverse polarization are…
The field of fragmentation functions of light quarks and gluons is reviewed. In addition to integrated fragmentation functions, attention is paid to the dependence of fragmentation functions on transverse momenta and on polarization degrees…
Fracture functions, originally suggested to describe the production of diffractive and leading hadrons in semi-inclusive DIS, may be also applied at fixed target energies. They may also include interference and final state interaction,…
New polarized fragmentation functions are introduced and justified, in addition to those conventional ones assumed to be independent of the helicity of the parent parton. It is demonstrated that due to our present ignorance concerning these…
We present a brief description of the light-cone gauge calculation of the spin-dependent next-to-leading order splitting functions.
We give a general overview of the role and interpretation of fragmentation functions in hard processes. Transverse momentum dependence gives rise to time-reversal odd fragmentation functions contributing at leading order. Final state…
The hadronization of a high-energy parton is described by fragmentation functions which are introduced through QCD factorizations. While the hadronization mechanism per se remains uknown, fragmentation functions can still be investigated…
The perturbative QCD calculation of heavy quark fragmentation into a heavy meson is extended to predict fragmentation into heavy flavor baryons. This is accomplished by implementing the quark-diquark model of the baryons. Several diquark…
Next-to-leading order parton fragmentation functions into light mesons are presented. They have been extracted from real and simulated $e^+e^-$ data and used to predict inclusive single particle distributions at different machines.
We define a number of quark fragmentation functions for spin-0, -1/2 and -1 hadrons, and classify them according to their twist, spin and chirality. As an example of their applications, we use them to analyze semi-inclusive deep-inelastic…
The observation of the quark transversity distribution requires another soft object sensitive to the quark's transverse spin. Dihadron fragmentation functions represent a convenient tool to analyze partonic spin, which can influence the…
Spin-weighted spherical functions provide a useful tool for analyzing tensor-valued functions on the sphere. A tensor field can be decomposed into complex-valued functions by taking contractions with tangent vectors on the sphere and the…
A summary is given of how spin enters in collinearly factorizing processes. Next, theoretical aspects of polarization in processes beyond collinear factorization are discussed in more detail, with special focus on recent developments…
We discuss transverse polarization distribution and fragmentation functions, in particular, T-odd functions with transverse momentum dependence, which might be relevant for the description of single transverse spin asymmetries. The role of…
Heavy quarkonium production is a powerful implement to study the strong interaction dynamics and QCD theory. Fragmentation is the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum. With the large heavy quark…
Nuclear parton distributions and structure functions are determined in an effective chiral quark theory. We also discuss an extension of our model to fragmentation functions.
We characterize which graph invariants are partition functions of a spin model over the complex numbers, in terms of the rank growth of associated `connection matrices'.
I begin with a general discussion about importance of constructing a picture of the nucleon in terms of QCD degrees of freedom, emphasizing the role of spin structure functions. I then give a short overview on the theoretical and…
The recently developed leading twist formalism for spin and transverse-momentum dependent fracture functions is shortly described. We demonstrate that the process of double hadron production in polarized SIDIS -- with one spinless hadron…
The problem of N interacting spins on a lattice is equivalent to one of N clusters linked in a specific manner. The energy of any configuration of spins can be expressed in terms of the energy levels of this cluster. A new expression is…
