Perturbative Generation of a Strange-Quark Asymmetry in the Nucleon
We point out that perturbative evolution in QCD at three loops generates a strange-antistrange asymmetry s(x) - s(x) in the nucleon's sea just from the fact that the nucleon has nonvanishing up and down quark valence densities. The recently computed three-loop splitting functions allow for an estimate of this effect. …
