Scientific paper

We review the perturbative evolution of the polarized structure functions g_1 and their associated parton distribution functions, with particular emphasis on the anomalous coupling of the first moment of the polarized gluon distribution. We also describe the small x behaviour of polarized parton distributions, contrasting it with that of the unpolarized distributions. We then explain how this theoretical analysis affects the extraction of the singlet axial charge from experimental data on g_1, and show that it may be possible to use such data to infer the existence of polarized gluons in the nucleon.
