abstract

We derive new explicit expressions for the Dirac bilinears based on a generic representation of the massive Dirac spinors with canonical polarization. These bilinears depend on a direction $n$ in Minkowski space which specifies the form of dynamics. We argue that such a dependence is unavoidable in a relativistic theory with spin, since it originates from Wigner rotation effects. Contrary to most of the expressions found in the literature, our ones are valid for all momenta and canonical polarizations of the spinors. As a by-product, we also obtain a generic explicit expression for the covariant spin vector.

    The four N oΔ transition GPDs decompose into monopole, two dipole and quadrupole multipole GPDs in one-to-one correspondence with light-front helicity amplitudes, defining impact-parameter transition densities at zero...

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Relativistic energy-momentum tensor distributions in a polarized nucleon

    hep-ph 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Relativistic EMT distributions in polarized nucleons recover good and bad light-front components in the IMF after including polarization effects.
