Next-to-leading Order Evolution of Transversity Distributions and Soffer's Inequality

We present a calculation of the two-loop splitting functions for the evolution of the twist-2 'transversity' parton densities of transversely polarized nucleons. We study the implications of our results for Soffer's inequality.
