What is Instanton Effects in Twist-3 Generalized Parton Distributions about?

The instanton vacuum picture is used to study hadronic matrix elements of the twist-3 (dimension-4, spin-1) QCD operators measuring the quark spin density and spin-orbit correlations. The QCD operators are converted to effective operators in the low-energy effective theory emerging after chiral symmetry breaking, in a systematic approach based on the diluteness of the instanton medium and the $1/N_c$ expansion. The instanton fields induce spin-flavor-dependent "potential" terms in the effective operators, complementing the "kinetic" terms from the quark field momenta. As a result, the effective operators obey the same equation-of-motion relations as the original QCD operators. The spin-orbit correlations are qualitatively different from naive quark model expectations.
