Some Inequalities for the Generalized Parton Distribution E(x,0,t)

Abstract

We discuss some constraints on the $x$ and $t$-dependence of $E(x,0,t)$ that arise from positivity bounds in the impact parameter representation. In addition, we show that $E(x,0,0)$ for the nucleon vanishes for $x\to 1$ at least as rapidly as $(1-x)^4$. Finally we provide an inequality that limits the contribution from $E$ to the angular momentum sum rule.
