Abstract

The twist-three distributions g2(x) and h2(x) are defined as quark-field matrix elements between polarized hadron states. They can be written in terms of quark-mass and gluonic operators, after which the Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rule for g2 can be derived and a similar sum rule for h2. Their role in the Drell-Yan double-spin asymmetry ALT is explained.
