Description

We present the general framework to calculate chiral-odd generalized parton distributions in the overlap representation using the Fock-state decomposition in the transverse spin basis. In the forward limit we derive the transversity distribution, the tensor charge and the angular momentum sum rule for quarks with transverse polarization in an unpolarized nucleon. Numerical results are obtained by applying the formalism to the case of light-cone wavefunctions of constituent quark models.
