We give an overview of the theory for generalized parton distributions. Topics covered are
their general properties and physical interpretation, the possibility to explore the three …

The generalized parton distributions, introduced nearly a decade ago, have emerged as a
universal tool to describe hadrons in terms of quark and gluonic degrees of freedom. They …

We outline in detail the properties of generalized parton distributions (GPDs), which contain
new information on the structure of hadrons and which enter the description of hard …

Combining dispersion and operator product expansion techniques, we derive the conformal
partial wave decomposition of the virtual Compton scattering amplitude in terms of complex …

We solve for the gluon generalized parton distributions (GPDs) inside the proton at zero
skewness, focusing specifically on leading twist chiral-even GPDs. We obtain and employ …

We evaluate generalized parton distributions of the pion in two chiral quark models: the
spectral quark model and the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model with a Pauli-Villars …

Generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) of spin-3/2 particles are defined for the first
time in this paper. Eight unpolarized and eight polarized GPDs are found. In the forward limit …

We review recent works on the modelling of generalised parton distributions within the
Dyson–Schwinger formalism. We highlight how covariant computations, using the impulse …

We investigate the exclusive semileptonic B c→(D, η c, B, B s) ℓ ν ℓ, η b→ B c ℓ ν ℓ (ℓ= e, μ,
τ) decays using the light-front quark model constrained by the variational principle for the …

We calculate generalized parton distribution functions in a field theoretic formalism using a
covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach for the determination of the bound-state wave function …
