The three-loop unpolarized and polarized non-singlet anomalous dimensions from off shell operator matrix elements

We calculate the unpolarized and polarized three--loop anomalous dimensions and splitting functions $P_{rm NS}^+, P_{rm NS}^-$ and $P_{rm NS}^{rm s}$ in QCD in the $overline{sf MS}$ scheme by using the traditional method of space--like off shell massless operator matrix elements. This is a gauge--dependent framework. For the first time we also calculate the three--loop anomalous dimensions $P_{rm NS}^{rm pm tr}$ for transversity directly. We compare our results to the literature.
