Transverse momentum dependent distribution functions in a covariant parton model approach with quark orbital motion
Transverse parton momentum dependent distribution functions (TMDs) of the
nucleon are studied in a covariant model, which describes the intrinsic motion
of partons in terms of a covariant momentum distribution. The consistency of
the approach is demonstrated, and model relations among TMDs are studied. As a
byproduct it is shown how the approach allows to formulate the non-relativistic
limit.Comment: 16 page
Gluon Contribution to the Transverse Spin Structure Function g2
We consider the twist-3 gluon contribution to the transverse spin structure
function .We find that the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule is satisfied. The
additional {\it nonlocal} operators appear in the moments of g2 which were
absent in previous analysis of Bukhvostov, Kuraev and Lipatov.Comment: LATEX, 13 pages, 1 figure included into the file; published in Phys.

Quark orbital angular momentum: can we learn about it from GPDs and TMDs?
It is known how to access information on quark orbital angular momentum from
generalized parton distribution functions, in a certain specified framework. It
is intuitively expected, that such information can be accessed also through
transverse momentum dependent distribution functions, but not known how. Now
quark models provide promising hints. Recent results are reviewed.Comment: proceeding of the "4th Workshop on Exclusive Reactions at High

Dispersive approach to the axial anomaly and nonrenormalization theorem
Anomalous triangle graphs for the divergence of the axial-vector current are
studied using the dispersive approach generalized for the case of higher orders
of perturbation theory. The validity of this procedure is proved up to two-loop
level. By direct calculation in the framework of dispersive approach we have
obtained that the two-loop AVV amplitude is equal to zero. According to the
Vainshtein's theorem the transversal part of the anomalous triangle is not
renormalized in the chiral limit. We generalize this theorem for tha case of
finite fermion mass in the triangle loop.Comment: 12 pages, version to appear in Physical Review
