We analyze the transverse momentum dependent distribution and fragmentation functions in space-like and time-like hard processes involving at least two hadrons, in particular 1-particle inclusive leptoproduction, the Drell-Yan process and two-particle inclusive hadron production in electron-positron annihilation. As is well-known, transverse momentum dependence allows for the appearance of unsuppressed single spin azimuthal asymmetries, such as Sivers and Collins asymmetries. Recently, Belitsky, Ji and Yuan obtained fully color gauge invariant expressions for the relevant matrix elements appearing in these asymmetries at leading order in an expansion in the inverse hard scale. We rederive these results and extend them to observables at the next order in this expansion. We observe that at leading order one retains a probability interpretation, contrary to a claim in the literature and show the direct relation between the Sivers effect in single spin asymmetries and the Qiu-Sterman mechanism. We also study fragmentation functions, where the process dependent gauge link structure of the correlators is not the only source of T-odd observables and discuss the implications for universality.

Hyperon-pair spin tomography beyond scalar spin correlations
Scalar Lambda-pair spin correlations leave a continuous density-matrix degeneracy; full tensor tomography is required to claim entanglement, and a ³P₀ benchmark predicts a specific anisotropy pattern.

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...

Transverse single-spin asymmetries in $\gamma$SIDIS as a direct probe of quark-gluon-quark longitudinal momentum structure
The transverse spin asymmetry for isolated-photon SIDIS at EIC energies is estimated to reach 10% or more in specific kinematics, offering a path to constrain the quark-gluon-quark correlators F_FT(x,x') and G_FT(x,x'...

Sivers Asymmetry in Photoproduction of $J/\psi$ and Jet at the EIC
Photoproduction of J/psi+jet at the EIC shows a gluon-dominated Sivers asymmetry of up to 6-8% in the models studied, making it a promising probe of the gluon Sivers function.

The effect of TMD evolution on the Sivers asymmetry in back-to-back $J/\psi+\gamma$ and $J/\psi+\text{jet}$ production at the Electron-Ion-Collider
After including TMD evolution, the Sivers asymmetry in these J/ψ processes at EIC kinematics remains sizable and largely independent of LDME choices, providing a robust probe of the gluon Sivers function.

Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production in polarized $\ell p$ collisions at the EIC
Collins asymmetries for pion-in-jet production in polarized lepton-proton collisions provide clearer access to transversity distributions at the EIC and test the universality of the Collins function.
