We consider the transverse momentum dependent gluon distribution functions (called gluon TMDs) by studying the light-front gluon-gluon correlator, extending the results for unpolarized and vector polarized targets to also include tensor polarized targets -- the latter type of polarization is relevant for targets of spin $\ge1$. The light-front correlator includes process-dependent gauge links to guarantee color gauge invariance. As from the experimental side the gluon TMDs are largely unknown, we present positivity bounds for combinations of leading-twist gluon distributions that may be used to estimate their maximal contribution to observables. Since the gluonic content of hadrons is particularly relevant in the small-$x$ kinematic region, we also study these bounds in the small-$x$ limit for the dipole-type gauge link structure using matrix elements of a single Wilson loop.

  1. T-odd transverse momentum dependent gluon distributions for tensor polarized deuteron in a spectator model

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Six leading-twist T-odd gluon TMDs of a tensor-polarized deuteron are derived analytically and evaluated numerically in a spectator model with single-gluon final-state interaction.
