Abstract

Generalized parton distributions involving transverse polarization are transversely deformed. The deformation of chirally odd GPDs is related to a transversity decomposition of the quark angular momentum. Potential consequences for T-odd single-spin asymmetries (Sivers and Boer-Mulders effects) are discussed.
