The isosinglet unpolarized and isovector polarized twist-2 quark distributions of the nucleon at low normalization point are calculated in the large-Nc limit. The nucleon is described as a soliton of the effective chiral theory. We derive the expressions for the distribution functions in the large-Nc limit starting from their definition as numbers of partons carrying momentum fraction x in the infinite momentum frame. We develop a numerical method for computation of the quark and antiquark distributions as sums over the quark single-particle levels in the pion field of the soliton. The contributions of the discrete bound-state level as well as the Dirac continuum are taken into account. The quark- and antiquark distributions obtained explicitly satisfy all general requirements. Results are in reasonable agreement with parametrizations of the data at low normalization point.

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives the NLO (1/Nc) chiral-odd GPDs in the pion mean-field picture, proves polynomiality and sum rules, and gives gradient-expansion estimates partially matching lattice QCD.

  2. Quark orbital angular momentum as a chiral magnetic effect

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The calculation yields a large negative orbital angular momentum L_{u-d} from chiral magnetic effects that partially cancels the positive spin contribution and reduces total J_{u-d} to match lattice QCD.
