Transverse Polarisation of Quarks in Hadrons
read the original abstract
We review the present state of knowledge regarding the transverse polarisation (or transversity) distributions of quarks. After some generalities on transverse polarisation, we formally define the transversity distributions within the framework of a classification of all leading-twist distribution functions. We describe the QCD evolution of transversity at leading and next-to-leading order. A comprehensive treatment of non-perturbative calculations of transversity distributions (within the framework of quark models, lattice QCD and QCD sum rules) is presented. The phenomenology of transversity (in particular, in Drell-Yan processes and semi-inclusive leptoproduction) is discussed in some detail. Finally, the prospects for future measurements are outlined.

Accessing nucleon transversity with one-point energy correlators
The paper proposes that one-point energy correlators in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions access the nucleon's transversity distribution through a single-spin asymmetry with sin(φ_s - φ_n) angular depend...

Gravitational transverse momentum distribution of proton
Analytical expressions for quark gravitational TMDs are derived in the LFQDM, verified against standard TMD relations, and linked to transverse pressure and shear-force distributions.

Dihadron azimuthal asymmetry and light-quark dipole moments at the Electron-Ion Collider
Proposal for a new observable—dihadron azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized SIDIS at EIC—that isolates linear dependence on light-quark dipole couplings via SM-dipole interference.

Tensor form factors of decuplet hyperons in QCD
QCD sum rules yield numerical tensor form factors for Ω^-, Σ^{*+}, and Ξ^{*-} up to 10 GeV² together with forward-limit quark tensor charges.

T-odd Wigner Distributions in boost-invariant longitudinal position space and Spin-momentum correlation in proton
T-odd leading-twist GTMDs in σ-space exhibit -t-dependent oscillations with transverse-longitudinal interference, while Sivers and Boer-Mulders Wigner distributions encode proton spin-transverse momentum correlations.
