Sum rules for the Gravitational Form Factors using light-front dressed quark state

Abstract

We consider a light-front dressed quark state, per se, instead of a proton state, we consider a simple composite spin-1/2 state of a quark dressed with a gluon. This perturbative model incorporates gluonic degrees of freedom, which enable us to evaluate the gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the quark as well as the gluon in this model \cite{More:2021stk, More:2023pcy}. We employ the Hamiltonian framework and choose the light-front gauge $A^+=0$. We calculate the four GFFs and corroborate the sum rules that GFFs satisfy. The GFF $D$ is attributed to information like pressure, shear, and energy distributions. We analyze some of these distributions for a dressed quark state at one loop in QCD.
