Abstract
Parton distributions in impact parameter space, which are obtained by Fourier transforming GPDs, exhibit a significant deviation from axial symmetry when the target and/or quark are transversely polarized. Connections between this deformation and transverse-single-spin asymmetries as well as with quark-gluon correlations are discussed. The sign of transverse deformation of impact-parameter– dependent parton distributions in a transversely polarized target can be related to the sign of the contribution from that quark flavor to the nucleon anomalous magnetic moment. Therefore, the signs of the Sivers function for u and d quarks, as well as the signs of quark-gluon correlations embodied in the polarized structure function g2 can be understood in terms of the proton and neutron anomalous magnetic moments.
