We consider the operators determining 1/Q^2-power corrections to the Bjorken, Ellis-Jaffe and Gross-Llewellyn-Smith sum rules. The nucleon is described as a soliton of the effective chiral theory derived from instantons in the 1/N_c-expansion. QCD operators involving the gluon field are systematically represented by effective operators in the effective chiral theory. We find that twist-3 matrix elements are suppressed relative to twist-4 by a power of the packing fraction of the instanton medium. Numerical results for the spin-dependent (d^(2), f^(2)) and spin-independent twist-3 and 4 matrix elements are compared with results of other approaches and with experimental estimates of power corrections. The methods developed can be used to evaluate a wide range of matrix elements relevant to DIS.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-07-30T14:03:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.60.Hb", "12.38.Lg", "11.15.Kc", "12.39.Ki" ], "keywords": [ "nucleon matrix elements", "instanton vacuum", "higher-twist operators", "effective chiral theory", "qcd operators" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier", "journal": "Nucl.
