On the QCD Evolution of the Transversity Distribution

Abstract

The QCD evolution of the transversity distributions is investigated and compared to that of the helicity distributions. It is shown that they differ largely in the small-$x$ region. It is also proved that the evolution preserves Soffer's inequality among the three leading-twist distribution functions.
