Reductions of integrable equations on A.III-type symmetric spaces

We study a class of integrable non-linear differential equations related to the A.III-type symmetric spaces. These spaces are realized as factor groups of the form SU(N)/S(U(N-k) x U(k)). We use the Cartan involution corresponding to this symmetric space as an element of the reduction group and restrict generic Lax operators to this symmetric space. The symmetries of the Lax operator are inherited by the fundamental analytic solutions and give a characterization of the corresponding Riemann-Hilbert data.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX iopart styl

On a realization of {β}\{\beta\}-expansion in QCD

We suggest a simple algebraic approach to fix the elements of the $\{ \beta \}$-expansion for renormalization group invariant quantities, which uses additional degrees of freedom. The approach is discussed in detail for N$^2$LO calculations in QCD with the MSSM gluino -- an additional degree of freedom. We derive the formulae of the $\{ \beta \}$-expansion for the nonsinglet Adler $D$-function and Bjorken polarized sum rules in the actual N$^3$LO within this quantum field theory scheme with the MSSM gluino and the scheme with the second additional degree of freedom. We discuss the properties of the $\{ \beta \}$-expansion for higher orders considering the N$^4$LO as an example.Comment: 14 pages, Introduction, Sec.2, Conclusion are significantly improve

Endpoint behavior of the pion distribution amplitude in QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates

Starting from the QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates for the pion distribution amplitude, we derive another sum rule for its derivative and its "integral" derivatives---defined in this work. We use this new sum rule to analyze the fine details of the pion distribution amplitude in the endpoint region $x\sim 0$. The results for endpoint-suppressed and flat-top (or flat-like) pion distribution amplitudes are compared with those we obtained with differential sum rules by employing two different models for the distribution of vacuum-quark virtualities. We determine the range of values of the derivatives of the pion distribution amplitude and show that endpoint-suppressed distribution amplitudes lie within this range, while those with endpoint enhancement---flat-type or CZ-like---yield values outside this range.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, 1 table, conclusions update

Cut moments and a generalization of DGLAP equations

We elaborate a cut (truncated) Mellin moments (CMM) approach that is constructed to study deep inelastic scattering in lepton-hadron collisions at the natural kinematic constraints. We show that generalized CMM obtained by multiple integrations of the original parton distribution $f(x,\mu^2)$ as well as ones obtained by multiple differentiations of this $f(x,\mu^2)$ also satisfy the DGLAP equations with the correspondingly transformed evolution kernel $P(z)$. Appropriate classes of CMM for the available experimental kinematic range are suggested and analyzed. Similar relations can be obtained for the structure functions $F(x)$, being the Mellin convolution $F= C \ast f$, where $C$ is the coefficient function of the process.Comment: 11 page

New extended Crewther-type relation

We propose a conjecture about the detailed structure of the conformal symmetry breaking term in the generalized Crewther relation. We conclude that this conjecture leads to new relations between the QCD expansion coefficients of the Adler D-function and the polarized Bjorken sum rule B$_{jp}$Comment: Second part of the talk presented at RADCOR2009-9th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections (Applications of Quantum Field Theory to Phenomenology), October 25-30, Ascona, Switzerland, Submitted to the Proceeding
