On the singular behavior of the chirality-odd twist-3 parton distribution e(x)

The first moment of the chirality-odd twist-3 parton distribution e(x) is related to the pion-nucleon σ-term, which is important for phenomenology. However, the possible existence of a singular contribution proportional to δ(x) in the distribution prevents the determination of the σ-term with e(x) e...
