Measures of Intermediate Entropies for Skew Product Diffeomorphisms

In this paper we study a skew product map $F$ with a measure $\mu$ of positive entropy. We show that if on the fibers the map are $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents, then $F$ has ergodic measures of intermediate entropies. To construct these measures we find a set on which the return map is a skew product with horseshoes along fibers. We can control the average return time and show the maximum entropy of these measures can be arbitrarily close to $h_\mu(F)$.Comment: 12 pages, a few mistakes corrected, some sections seriously rewritte

TMD Evolution: Matching SIDIS to Drell-Yan and W/Z Boson Production

We examine the QCD evolution for the transverse momentum dependent observables in hard processes of semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan lepton pair production in $pp$ collisions, including the spin-average cross sections and Sivers single transverse spin asymmetries. We show that the evolution equations derived by a direct integral of the Collins-Soper-Sterman evolution kernel from low to high Q can describe well the transverse momentum distribution of the unpolarized cross sections in the Q^2 range from 2 to 100 GeV^2. In addition, the matching is established between our evolution and the Collins-Soper-Sterman resummation with b*-prescription and Konychev-Nodalsky parameterization of the non-perturbative form factors, which are formulated to describe the Drell-Yan lepton pair and W/Z boson production in hadronic collisions. With these results, we present the predictions for the Sivers single transverse spin asymmetries in Drell-Yan lepton pair production and $W^\pm$ boson production in polarized pp and $\pi^- p$ collisions for several proposed experiments. We emphasize that these experiments will not only provide crucial test of the sign change of the Sivers asymmetry, but also provide important opportunities to study the QCD evolution effects.Comment: 46 pages, 15 figure

Energy Evolution for the Sivers Asymmetries in Hard Processes

We investigate the energy evolution of the azimuthal spin asymmetries in semi-inclusive hadron production in deep inelastic scattering (SIDIS) and Drell-Yan lepton pair production in pp collisions. The scale dependence is evaluated by applying an approximate solution to the Collins-Soper-Sterman (CSS) evolution equation at one-loop order which is adequate for moderate Q^2 variations. This describes well the unpolarized cross sections for SIDIS and Drell-Yan process in the $Q^2$ range of 2.4-100GeV^2. A combined analysis of the Sivers asymmetries in SIDIS from HERMES and COMPASS experiments, and the predictions for the Drell-Yan process at RHIC at \sqrt{S}=200GeV are presented. We further extend to the Collins asymmetries and find, for the first time, a consistent description for HERMES/COMPASS and BELLE experiments with the evolution effects. We emphasize an important test of the evolution effects by studying di-hadron azimuthal asymmetry in e^+e^- annihilation at moderate energy range, such as at BEPC at \sqrt{S}=4.6GeV.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures; references added, presentation improve
