Different approaches to the problem of a gauge-invariant operator definition of transverse-momentum dependent parton densities (TMDs) are reviewed and compared from the point of view of their compatibility with the operator definition of collinear (integrated) parton distribution functions. In particular, geometry of the longitudinal and transverse gauge links (Wilson lines) both in unsubtracted quark TMDs and in the associate soft factors is addressed. A possible connection between different operator definitions is also discussed.

Recently, Collins proposed a new definition of the (quark) TMD [ref] which is built into the factorization formula for the semi-inclusive hadronic tensor (up to power corrections) [equation] where all soft factors are absorbed into the TMD distribution $F^Col.$ and the fragmentation $D^Col.$ functions, so that there are no separate soft factors in factorized structure functions, e.g., [equation] Here the soft factors depend on the light-like $n^±$ or the tilted $n_A,B$ vectors (for details, see [ref] ).
