abstract
The physics related to the form factors of the energy momentum tensor spans a wide spectrum of problems, and includes gravitational physics, hard exclusive reactions, hadronic decays of heavy quarkonia, and the physics of exotic hadrons described as hadroquarkonia. It also provides access to the "last global unknown property:" the D-term. We review the physics associated with the form factors of the energy-momentum tensor and the D-term, their interpretations in terms of mechanical properties, their applications, and the current experimental status.

In gauge-free quark models, quasi-PDFs converge to PDFs with proven sum rules, and the Covariant Parton Model supplies closed-form small-x results that match a Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for the quark energy-momentum tensor form factor.
D-term of nuclei exhibits kinks at magic neutron numbers, showing strong sensitivity of mechanical properties to shell structure.
A group-theoretic construction yields complete form factor bases for scalar, vector, and tensor operators on spin-1/2 to spin-2 particles, with new P and T structures for higher spins and identification of a redundant conserved structure for spin-2 in existing literature.
The small-x gluon D-term is a next-to-eikonal stress probe and is not fixed by the leading-eikonal dipole or saturation profile alone.
Derives relativistic spatial distributions of transverse orbital angular momentum, intrinsic spin, and total angular momentum in the transverse plane for spin-0 and spin-1/2 targets via quantum phase-space formalism and verifies the transverse spin sum rule.
Relativistic EMT distributions in polarized nucleons recover good and bad light-front components in the IMF after including polarization effects.
Analytical expressions for quark gravitational TMDs are derived in the LFQDM, verified against standard TMD relations, and linked to transverse pressure and shear-force distributions.
An effective light-front wave function whose five-dimensional piece comes from holographic QCD yields pion gravitational form factors A(Q^{2}) and D(Q^{2}) that match lattice results after parameter tuning.
Non-perturbative renormalization constants for gluonic and fermionic components of the traceless energy-momentum tensor in Nf=3 lattice QCD are computed to few-percent accuracy using discretized Ward identities with shifted boundary conditions.
Proposes EIC jet-pion-electron measurements to detect and quantify short-range quark pair correlations in protons, expecting ud pairs to dominate due to diquark attraction.
Analyzes diagonal GPD overlaps from light-front wave functions in the 't Hooft model, finding no linear b term in equal-mass second moments and a resonant b^4 ln^2(1/b) nonanalyticity at beta=1/2 that limits the diagonal overlap.
A neural network framework informed by lattice QCD uses all-order dispersion relations to significantly constrain both real and imaginary parts of Compton Form Factors extracted from DVCS proton data.
Gravitational form factors of pion and kaon are computed in BLFQ; A(Q^2) agrees with lattice QCD while D(Q^2) is enhanced at low Q^2 due to small-x and zero-mode sensitivity in the truncated model.
In light-front holographic QCD the nucleon gravitational form factor B_N(t) vanishes exactly in the symmetric limit due to an antisymmetric longitudinal factor and remains strongly suppressed for realistic nucleon wave functions, explaining its observed smallness.
σ-pole residues in gluon D-form factors for π, N, ρ and Δ are consistent with dilaton effective theory predictions within large uncertainties.
A neural network trained solely on integral observables from a known GPD model recovers the main features of the underlying distributions in a closure test.
Transverse EMT distributions in polarized nucleons are derived in the quantum phase-space formalism; they reduce to standard light-front densities (including bad components) in the infinite-momentum frame.
The scalar gluonic trace form factor G_N(t) is expressed as G_{s,g}(t) + G_{s,q}(t) - σ(t)/M, linking the QCD trace anomaly to DVCS and J/ψ observables.
Light-front quark model calculations with two Gaussian wave functions yield transverse mechanical distributions for pseudoscalar charmonium and bottomonium, showing a nodal pressure and positive force.
Computes spin-orbit correlation distributions for charmonium and B_c mesons by linking parity-odd EMT matrix elements to light-front dynamics.
In the chiral confining model, in-medium nucleon mass evolution driven by scalar-field response and separation of confinement versus chiral effects governs repulsive three-body forces for saturation, alongside changes to internal energy and pressure distributions.
In the bag model, GTMD calculations are consistent, orbital angular momentum is tied to F_{1,4}^q through the Ji sum rule, and a deeper link to pretzelosity TMD is established.
Near-threshold charmonium chromoelectric scattering separates into a scalar anomaly channel and a traceless spin-two channel fixed by Ag(0) forward and by a specific GFF combination off forward, without a boost-enhanced mass radius.
