We study T-odd gauge invariantly defined T-odd unintegrated gluon densities in QCD. The average $\perp$ momentum of the gluons in a $\perp$ polarized nucleon can be nonzero due to the Sivers mechanism. However, we find that the sum of the transverse momenta due to the Sivers mechanism from gluons and all quark flavors combined vanishes, i.e. $<{\bf k_{\perp,g}}> + \sum_q < {\bf k_{\perp,q}}> =0$.

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.
