IntroductionIntroduction
Presented results follow from QPM, in which (valence) quarks are considered as quasifree fermions on mass shell, with effective mass x0=m/M. Momenta distributions describing intrinsic quark motion have spherical symmetry and constraint J=1/2 is applied. The model is constructed in consistently covariant way [for details see Phys.Rev. D65 054040(2002), D67 014019(2003), D70 054018(2004)].
In this talk properties of spin functions obtained in the model will be discussed:
Sum rules for g1,g2. g1,g2 from valence quarks, comparison with experimental
data, discussion on Γ1. Transversity – two ways of calculation, discussion of
compliance with Soffer inequality.

Lesson of QMLesson of QM Forget structure functions for a while and calculate another task. Remember, that angular momentum consists of j=l+s. In relativistic case l,s are not conserved separately, only j is conserved. So, we
can have pure states of j (j2,jz) only, which are represented by relativistic spherical waves:

Transversity(P.Z.+A.Efremov, O.Teryaev, for details see Phys.Rev.D70 054018(2004))
First, remind our procedure for g1, g2 :
Transversity may be related to auxiliary polarized process described by interference of axial vector and scalar currents. (see G.R. Goldstein, R.L. Jaffe and X.D. Ji, Phys. Rev. D 52, 5006 (1995); B.L. Ioffe and A. Khodjamirian, Phys. Rev. D 51, 3373 (1995)). We try to use simplest form of such vector, giving:

ConclusionConclusion
Covariant version of QPM involving intrinsic motion was studied.
Model easily reproduces well known sum rules for g1,g2 : WW, ELT, BC. Spin function g1 depend on intrinsic motion rather significantly, this
motion generates orbital momentum as a “obligatory” part of j. Calculated g1,g2 are well compatible with experimental data.
Two ways for estimation of transversity were suggested: Interference on quark level only (V & S currents) Interference effects on quark-hadron transition stage are included
Also for transversity, intrinsic motion tends to reduce it. Results on q(x) are compatible with calculation by P.Schweitzer et al.
