abstract

The ``asymmetric'' matrix element <p-r|G...G|p> that appears in the pQCD description of hard diffractive electroproduction does not coincide with that defining the gluon distribution function f_g(x). I outline a pQCD formalism based on a concept of the double distribution F_g(x,y), which specifies the fractions xp, yr, (1-y)r of the initial proton momentum p and the momentum transfer r, resp., carried by the gluons. For $t \equiv r^2 =0$, r is proportional to p: $r = \zeta p$, and it is convenient to parameterize the matrix element <p-r|G...G|p> by an asymmetric distribution function ${\cal F}_{\zeta}^g (X)$ depending on the total fractions $X \equiv x+y \zeta$ and $X-\zeta = x- (1-y) \zeta$ of the initial hadron momentum p carried by the gluons.I formulate evolution equations for ${\cal F}_{\zeta}^g (X)$, study some of their general properties and discuss the relationship between ${\cal F}_{\zeta}^g (X)$, F_g(x,y) and f_g(x).

Unpolarized GPDs at small $x$ and non-zero skewness

hep-ph · 2025-12-10 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Unpolarized GPDs and GTMDs at small x with non-zero skewness are expressed via the dipole amplitude N and odderon O with modified rapidity Y = ln min{1/|x|, 1/|ξ|}.

GTMDs, orbital angular momentum, and pretzelosity

hep-ph · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

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.
