`Generalized double-logarithmic large-x resummation in perturbative QCD'

Abstract: After an introduction to the general description of 
hard-lepton hadron processes in perturbative QCD, the talk focuses on 
the large-x (threshold) behaviour of the splitting functions 
(governing the scale dependence of the parton distributions) and of 
the coefficient functions (partonic cross sections). A new approach is 
discussed which facilitates an all-order resummation of quantities and 
contributions not covered by the standard soft-gluon exponentiation. 
The leading- and next-to-leading-logarithmic results can be expressed 
via new (?) special functions defined in terms of Bernoulli numbers.
