The strong force which binds hadrons is described by the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Determining the character and manifestations of QCD is one of the most important and challenging outstanding issues necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the structure of hadrons. Within the context of the QCD parton picture, the Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) have been remarkably successful in describing a wide variety of processes. However, these PDFs have generally been confined to the description of collinear partons within the hadron. New experiments and facilities provide the opportunity to additionally explore the transverse structure of hadrons which is described by Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs) and Transverse Momentum Dependent Parton Distribution Functions (TMD PDFs). In our previous review, we compared and contrasted the two main approaches used to determine the collinear PDFs: the first based on perturbative QCD factorization theorems, and the second based on lattice QCD calculations. In the present report, we provide an update of recent progress on the collinear PDFs, and also expand the scope to encompass the generalized PDFs (GPDs and TMD PDFs). We review the current state of the various calculations, and consider what new data might be available in the near future. We also examine how a shared effort can foster dialog between the PDF and Lattice QCD communities, and yield improvements for these generalized PDFs.

  1. What are the consequences of independent factorization and renormalization scales?

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Independent factorization and renormalization scales are inconsistent with simultaneously preserving RG invariance, Ward identities, and PDF sum rules in generalized pole subtraction schemes.

  2. Generalized parton distributions of the kaon and pion within the nonlocal chiral quark model

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper extends the nonlocal chiral quark model to strange quarks and computes kaon and pion generalized parton distributions, their QCD evolution, and strange-to-light gravitational form factor ratios.

  3. Assessing the impact of the electron ion collider in China on Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Projected EicC DVCS asymmetry data would substantially reduce uncertainties on all leading-order Compton form factors, most strongly in the sea-quark region.

  4. Mechanical properties of the nucleon from the generalized parton distributions

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a double-distribution GPD model constrained by elastic-scattering data, the paper fits DQ(0) = -3.37 ± 0.17 from Compton form factors and derives proton pressure, shear, and radii.

  5. Mapping spatial distributions within pseudoscalar mesons

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new analytic parametrization of meson valence-quark GPDs yields spatial charge and mass distributions and radius ratios for pions, kaons and heavy-light mesons.

  6. A simple non-parametric reconstruction of parton distributions from limited Fourier information

    hep-lat 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A fixed-hyperparameter Gaussian-process prior recovers parton distributions from limited Ioffe-time data and yields more realistic small-x uncertainties than simple parametric fits.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review showing unpolarized quark TMD fits now reach collinear-PDF-like precision, while polarized and gluon TMDs remain less constrained.
