In this work we initiate a systematic investigation of the spin of a composite system in an arbitrary reference frame in QCD. After a brief review of the difficulties one encounters in equal-time quantization, we turn to light-front…
In this paper we address various issues connected with transverse spin in light front QCD. The transverse spin operators, in $A^+ = 0$ gauge, expressed in terms of the dynamical variables are explicitly interaction dependent unlike the…
We address the long standing problem of the construction of relativistic spin operators for a composite system in QCD. Exploiting the kinematical boost symmetry in light front theory, we show that transverse spin operators for massless…
We discuss in detail the relativistic spatial distribution of transverse angular momentum, including both orbital and intrinsic spin contributions. Using the quantum phase-space formalism, we begin with the definition of the…
We investigate the twist three distribution function $e(x)$ in light-front Hamiltonian perturbation theory. In light-front gauge, by eliminating the constrained field, we find a mass term, an intrinsic transverse momentum dependent term and…
In this work we provide explicit calculations that support the conclusions stated in Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 039102 (2013) (comment), regarding recent literature on transverse polarization. We also compare and contrast two methods of deriving…
The transversely-polarized state of a proton with arbitrary momentum is not an eigenstate of transverse angular momentum operator. The latter does not commute with the QCD Hamiltonian. However, the expectation value of the transverse…
We construct the spin formalism in order to deal in a direct and natural way with processes involving transversity which are now of increasing popularity. The helicity formalism which is more appropriate for collision processes of definite…
Investigations have revealed a very complex structure for the coefficient functions accompanying the divergences for individual time ($x^+$) ordered diagrams in light-front perturbation theory. No guidelines seem to be available to look for…
The original cubic interaction terms for higher spin gauge fields in four dimensions and their reformulation using Fock space vertex operators is reviewed. As a new result, the complete list of all cubic vertex functions in D=4 is derived.…
The formalism for the spin interactions in the front form (light-cone) is re-phrased in terms of an instant form formalism. It is shown how to unitarily transform the Brodsky-Lepage spinors to Bj{\o}rken-Drell spinors and to re-phrase the…
We compute one-loop renormalization group equations for non-singlet twist-four operators in QCD. The calculation heavily relies on the light-cone gauge formalism in the momentum fraction space that essentially rephrases the analysis of all…
We investigate the off-forward matrix element of the light cone vector operator for a dressed quark state in light-front Hamiltonian perturbation theory. We obtain the corresponding splitting functions in a straightforward way. We show that…
Using the second law of local thermodynamics and the first-order Palatini formalism, we formulate relativistic spin hydrodynamics for quantum field theories with Dirac fermions, such as QED and QCD, in a torsionful curved background. We…
In this paper we study the possibility of generalizing the classical photoabsorption ($\gamma a \to b c$) sum rules, to processes $b c \to \gamma a$ and crossed helicity amplitudes. In the first case, using detailed balance, the sum rule is…
We consider within a generalized QCD factorization approach, the high energy inclusive polarized process p p --> pion + X, including all intrinsic partonic motions. Several new spin and k_T-dependent soft functions appear and contribute to…
This is the second paper in the series to introduce a graphical method to loop quantum gravity. We employ the graphical method as a powerful tool to calculate the actions of the Euclidean Hamiltonian constraint operator and the so-called…
In this second paper in a series, we show that the the general statistical approach to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics developed in the first paper yields a representation of quantum spin and magnetic moments based on classical…
Relativistic hydrodynamic equations for particles with spin one-half are used to determine the space-time evolution of the spin polarization in a boost-invariant and transversely homogeneous background. The hydrodynamic approach uses the…
We formulate a partonic description of hadronic gravitational form factors within QCD, focusing on the three-point function of the energy-momentum tensor and two gluon currents. Despite the lack of exact conformal symmetry in QCD, the…
