Description
Parton models of the nucleon predict several symmetries for the parton distribution functions of the nucleon, including flavour symmetry, charge symmetry, and quark-antiquark symmetry. We review theoretical calculations and experimental measurements for the breaking of these symmetries. We discuss implications of symmetry breaking studies on the determination of parton distribution functions of the nucleon.
