Radiatively Generated Isospin Violations in the Nucleon and the NuTeV Anomaly

Predictions of isospin asymmetries of valence and sea distributions are presented which are generated by QED leading $\mathcal{O}(\alpha )$ photon bremsstrahlung effects. Together with isospin violations arising from nonperturbative hadronic sources (such as quark and target mass differences) as well as with even a conservative contribution from a strangeness asymmetry ($s\mathrm{\ne }\bar{s}$), the discrepancy between the large NuTeV `anomaly’ result for ${\sin }^2{\theta }_W$ and the world average of other measurements is removed.
