We revisit the model-independent decomposition of the gluon correlator, producing T-even and T-odd gluon transverse momentum distributions (TMDs), at leading twist. We propose an expansion of the gluon correlator, using a basis of four tensors (one antisymmetric and three symmetric), which are expressed through generators of the $U(2)$ group acting in the two-dimensional transverse plane. One can do clear interpretations of the two transversity T-odd TMDs with linear polarization of gluons: symmetric and asymmetric under permutation of the transverse spin of the nucleon and the transverse momentum of the gluon. Using light-front wave function (LFWF) representation, we also derive T-even and T-odd gluon TMDs in the nucleon at leading twist. The gluon-three-quark Fock component in the nucleon is considered as bound state of gluon and three-quark core (spectator). The TMDs are constructed as factorized product of two LFWFs and gluonic matrix encoding information about both T-even and T-odd TMDs. In particular, T-odd TMDs arise due to gluon rescattering between the gluon and three-quark spectator. Gluon rescattering effects are parametrized by unknown scalar functions depending on the $x$ and ${bf k}_{perp}$ variables. Our gluon TDMs obey the model-independent Mulders-Rodrigues inequalities. We also derive new sum rules (SRs) involving T-even TMDs. One of the SRs states that the square of the unpolarized TMD is equal to a sum of the squares of three polarized TMDs. Based on the SR derived for T-even gluon TMDs, we make a conjecture that there should two additional SRs involving T-odd gluon TMDs, valid at orders $alpha_s$ and $alpha_s^2$. Then, we check these SRs at small and large values of $x$. We think that our study could serve as useful input for future phenomenological studies of TMDs.

We study the rapidity evolution of gluon transverse momentum dependent distributions appearing in processes of particle production and show how this evolution changes from small to moderate Bjorken x.

Maximally path-dependent gauge-invariant operator definition of the gluon transverse-momentum dependent pdf (gTMD) is discussed. It is argued that the evolution equations for the gTMD in the coordinate representation can be derived from the equations of motion in the generalised loop space, whose elements are the hadronic averages of the Wilson loops of entirely arbitrary shape.
Transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions in a proton are important in high energy physics from both theoretical and phenomenological points of view. Using the latest RHIC and LHC data on the inclusive soft hadron production in $pp$ an d $AA$ collisions at small transverse momenta, we determine the parameters of the initial TMD gluon density, derived in the framework of quark-gluon string model at the low scale $mu_0 sim 1 - 2$ GeV and refine its large-$x$ behaviour using the LHC data on the $t bar t$ production at $sqrt s = 13$ TeV. Then, we apply the Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation to extend the obtained TMD gluon density to the whole kinematical region. In addition, the complementary TMD valence and sea quark distributions are generated. The latter are evaluated in the approximation where the gluon-to-quark splitting occurs at the last evolution step using the TMD gluon-to-quark splitting function. Several phenomenological applications of the proposed TMD quark and gluon densities to the LHC processes are discussed.
In this paper we calculate analytically the perturbative matching coefficients for unpolarized quark and gluon Transverse-Momentum-Dependent (TMD) Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and Fragmentation Functions (FFs) through Next-to-Next-to-Next-to- Leading Order (N$^3$LO) in QCD. The N$^3$LO TMD PDFs are calculated by solving a system of differential equation of Feynman and phase space integrals. The TMD FFs are obtained by analytic continuation from space-like quantities to time-like quantities, taking into account the probability interpretation of TMD PDFs and FFs properly. The coefficient functions for TMD FFs exhibit double logarithmic enhancement at small momentum fraction $z$. We resum such logarithmic terms to the third order in the expansion of $alpha_s$. Our results constitute important ingredients for precision determination of TMD PDFs and FFs in current and future experiments.
