Photoproduction spin sum-rules offer a new window on the spin structure of the nucleon that complements the information we can learn from polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments. We review the theory and present status of the Drell–Hearn–Gerasimov sum-rule in QCD, emphasizing the possible relation between the present "discrepancy" in this sum-rule and the nucleon's strangeness magnetic moment. In the case of an elementary electron or photon target (say at the NLC) the Drell–Hearn–Gerasimov sum-rule provides a test for physics beyond the minimal Standard Model.

The spin structure of the proton and neutron is studied by polarized deep inelastic scattering at HERMES. The longitudinally polarized electron beam at 27.6 GeV, polarized internal gas targets of 3 He , H and D, and a wide acceptance magnetic spectrometer with a particle identification capability are the important ingredients of the experiment. The basic concepts of the measurements at HERMES as well as recent physics results are presented.

The Pauli principle is used, together with some deep inelastic scattering data, to guide us in making reasonable assumptions for various polarized parton distributions in terms of unpolarized distributions. We relate the violation of the Gottfried and Ellis-Jaffe sum rules and we anticipate a substantial violation of the Bjorken sum rule.

We present the attempt to study the problem of the estimates of higher order perturbative corrections to physical quantities in the Euclidean region. Our considerations are based on the application of the scheme-invariant methods, namely the principle of minimal sensitivity and the effective charges approach. We emphasize that in order to obtain the concrete results for the physical quantities in the Minkowskian region the results of application of this formalism should be supplemented by the explicit calculations of the effects of the analytical continuation. We present the estimates of the order [Formula: see text] QCD corrections to the Euclidean quantities: the e+e−-annihilation D-function and the deep inelastic scattering sum rules, namely the nonpolarized and polarized Bjorken sum rules and to the Gross–Llewellyn Smith sum rule. The results for the D-function are further applied to estimate the [Formula: see text] QCD corrections to the Minkowskian quantities R(s) = σ tot (e+e− → hadrons )/σ(e+e− → µ+µ−) and [Formula: see text]. The problem of the fixation of the uncertainties due to the [Formula: see text] corrections to the considered quantities is also discussed.

We give an overview of present calculations involving the proton spin structure function. It is shown that a significant part of the discepancy between the data and the Ellis–Jaffe sum-rule may arise through the axial anomaly if the gluons within the proton are strongly polarized. While a quark model, such as the MIT bag, does not include the anomaly, and therefore cannot be expected to reproduce the spin structure function, it does give a rather good description of recent data which is anomaly free, such as the distribution of polarized, valence up-quarks in the proton.

We discuss the polarized photon structure function [Formula: see text] and focus on the first moment of [Formula: see text], where we explore the role of the axial QED and strong U(1) anomalies. Electromagnetic gauge invariance determines an exact sum rule for the first moment of [Formula: see text]. If we accept a recently proposed definition of “spin content” then we must also accept a polarized gluon component of Δgγ=2π/αs in the spin-one photon.
