Lorentz invariance and QCD equation of motion relations for generalized parton distributions and the dynamical origin of proton orbital angular momentum
Abstract
We derive new Lorentz invariance and equation of motion relations between twist-three generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and moments in the parton transverse momentum, k T, of twist-two generalized transverse momentum-dependent distributions (GTMDs), as a function of the parton longitudinal momentum fraction x. Although GTMDs in principle define the observables for partonic orbital motion, experiments that can unambiguously detect them appear remote at present. The relations presented here provide a solution to this impasse in that, e.g., the orbital angular momentum density is connected to directly measurable twist-three GPDs. Out of 16 possible equation of motion relations that can be written in the T-even sector, we focus on three helicity configurations that can be detected analyzing specific spin asymmetries: two correspond to longitudinal proton polarization and are associated with quark orbital angular momentum and spin-orbit correlations; the third, obtained for transverse proton polarization, is a generalization of the relation obeyed by the g 2 structure function. We also exhibit an additional relation connecting the off-forward extension of the Sivers function to an off-forward Qiu-Sterman term.
