On the Drell-Levy-Yan Relation to $O({\alpha }_s^2)$

Abstract

We study the validity of a relation by Drell, Levy and Yan (DLY) connecting the deep inelastic structure (DIS) functions and the single-particle fragmentation functions in e^+e^- annihilation which are defined in the spacelike (q^2<0) and timelike (q^2>0) regions respectively. Here q denotes the momentum of the virtual photon exchanged in the deep inelastic scattering process or the annihilation process. An extension of the DLY-relation, which originally was only derived in the scaling parton model, to all orders in QCD leads to a connection between the two evolution kernels determining the q^2-dependence of the DIS structure functions and the fragmentation functions respectively. In relation to this we derive the transformation relations between the space-and time-like splitting functions up to next-to-leading order (NLO) and the coefficient functions up to NNLO both for unpolarized and polarized scattering. It is shown that the evolution kernels describing the combined singlet evolution for the structure functions F_2(x,Q^2), F_L(x,Q^2) where Q^2=|q^2| or $F_2(x,Q^2),\partial F_2(x,Q^2)/\partial \ln (Q^2)$ and the corresponding fragmentation functions satisfy the DLY relation up to next-to-leading order. We also comment on a relation proposed by Gribov and Lipatov.
