abstract
We compute the full three-loop coefficient functions for the structure functions F_2 and F_L in massless perturbative QCD. The results for F_L complete the next-to-next-to-leading order description of unpolarized electromagnetic deep-inelastic scattering. The third-order coefficient functions for F_2 form, at not too small values of the Bjorken variable x, the dominant part of the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order corrections, thus facilitating improved determinations of the strong coupling alpha_s from scaling violations. The three-loop corrections to F_L are larger than those for F_2. Especially for the latter quantity the expansion in powers of alpha_s is very stable, for photon virtualities Q^2 >> 1 GeV^2, over the full x-range accessible to fixed-target and collider measurements.

Presents the zeta(3)-proportional term of the four-loop non-singlet twist-two quark anomalous dimension for general N in closed form, extracted via analytic reconstruction from published Mellin moments.
Four-loop non-singlet QCD splitting functions are verified for consistency and used to finalize analytical forms for the gluon virtual anomalous dimension and N^4LL threshold resummation coefficients, revealing a new small-x logarithmic structure.
N³LO DIS implementation in VFNS with improved massive neutral-current coefficient approximation for PDF fits.
Including soft gluons in Monte Carlo generators for DIS aligns parton distributions with inclusive PDFs and makes entropy grow with decreasing x, indicating initial-state origin of the bulk entropy.
QCD collinear factorization, DGLAP evolution, and QT resummation, developed via DIS and Drell-Yan, form the calculational foundation for precision electroweak observables and new-physics searches.
