We investigate the one-gluon-exchange ($alpha alpha_s$) corrections to the polarized real photon structure function $g_1^gamma(x,Q^2)$ in the massive parton model. We employ a technique based on the Cutkosky rules and the reduction of Feynman integrals to master integrals. The NLO contribution is noticeable at large $x$ and does not vanish at the threshold of the massive quark pair production due to the Coulomb singularity. It is found that the first moment sum rule of $g_1^gamma$ is satisfied up to the NLO.

We investigate the one-gluon-exchange ($alpha alpha_s$) corrections to the real photon structure functions $W_{TT} $, $W_{LT}$, $W_{TT}^{a} $ and $W_{TT}^tau$ in the massive parton model. We employ a technique based on the Cutkosky rules and the reduction of Feynman integrals to master integrals. We show that a positivity constraint, which is derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, is satisfied among the unpolarized and polarized structure functions $W_{TT}$, $W_{TT}^a$ and $W_{TT}^tau$ calculated up to the next-to-leading order in QCD.
We derive a second-order linear differential equation for the leading order gluon distribution function G(x,Q^2) = xg(x,Q^2) which determines G(x,Q^2) directly from the proton structure function F_2^p(x,Q^2). This equation is derived from the leading order DGLAP evolution equation for F_2^p(x,Q^2), and does not require knowledge of either the individual quark distributions or the gluon evolution equation. Given an analytic expression that successfully reproduces the known experimental data for F_2^p(x,Q^2) in a domain x_min<=x<=x_max, Q_min^2<=Q^2<=Q_max^2 of the Bjorken variable x and the virtuality Q^2 in deep inelastic scattering, G(x,Q^2) is uniquely determined in the same domain. We give the general solution and illustrate the method using the recently proposed Froissart bound type parametrization of F_2^p(x,Q^2) of E. L. Berger, M. M. Block and C-I. Tan, PRL 98, 242001, (2007). Existing leading-order gluon distributions based on power-law description of individual parton distributions agree roughly with the new distributions for x>~10^-3 as they should, but are much larger for x<~10^-3.
The twist--2 heavy flavor contributions to the polarized structure function $g_2(x,Q^2)$ are calculated. We show that this part of $g_2(x,Q^2)$ is related to the heavy flavor contribution to $g_1(x,Q^2)$ by the Wandzura--Wilczek relation to all orders in the strong coupling constant. Numerical results are presented.
We perform a global analysis of all available spin-dependent proton structure function data, covering a large range of Q^2, 1 < Q^2 < 30 GeV^2, and calculate the lowest moment of the g_1 structure function as a function of Q^2. From the Q^2 dependence of the lowest moment we extract matrix elements of twist-4 operators, and determine the color electric and magnetic polarizabilities of the proton to be chi_E = 0.026 +- 0.015 (stat) + 0.021/-0.024 (sys) and chi_B = -0.013 -+ 0.007 (stat) - 0.010/+0.012 (sys), respectively.
Light-front Hamiltonian dynamics is used to relate low-energy constituent quark models to deep inelastic unpolarized structure functions of the nucleon. The approach incorporates the correct Pauli principle prescription consistently and it allows a transparent investigation of the effects due to the spin-dependent SU(6)-breaking terms in the quark model Hamiltonian. Both Goldstone-boson-exchange interaction and hyperfine-potential models are discussed in a unified scheme and a detailed comparison, between the two(apparently) different potential prescriptions, is presented.
