Abstract:
We discuss some constraints on the xx and tt-dependence of E(x,0,t)E(x,0,t) that arise from positivity bounds in the impact parameter representation. In addition, we show that E(x,0,0)E(x,0,0) for the nucleon vanishes for x1x\to 1 at least as rapidly as (1x)4(1-x)^4. Finally we provide an inequality that limits the contribution from EE to the angular momentum sum rule.
  • Compton scattering: off-shell
  • nucleon: structure function
  • momentum spectrum: parton
  • generalized parton distribution
  • impact parameter: dependence
  • axiomatic field theory: constraint
  • sum rule: angular momentum
