Photon angular momentum near Planck scale

We study the angular momentum structure of the gauge field in Lorentz covariant relativistic generalized uncertainty principle (RGUP) framework incorporating Planck scale minimal length effects. Using Noether's theorem for higher derivative RGUP-modified gauge field Lagrangian, we obtain the canonical and symmetric (Belinfante) energy-momentum tensors and the corresponding gauge spin and orbital angular momentum currents. We show that the canonical and Belinfante-Rosenfeld angular-momentum tensors continue to satisfy the standard conservation law in the presence of Planck-scale corrections. %These results support the stability of fundamental conservation laws under high-energy modifications. The RGUP corrections introduce higher-order contributions to the angular momentum density and momentum flow, yielding a modified Poynting vector, with the Maxwell limit recovered for vanishing RGUP parameter.

Gluon Wigner distributions with transverse polarization at non-zero skewness

We investigate the gluon Wigner distributions at non-zero skewness using light-front wave functions (LFWFs) in the dressed quark model, where the target state is a quark dressed with a gluon in the leading-order Fock space expansion. Our analysis focuses on the configurations in which the gluon, the target, or both are transversely polarized. We derive analytical expressions for the Wigner distributions in the boost-invariant longitudinal space ($\sigma$) for transversely polarized configurations and observe a diffraction-like oscillatory pattern in $\sigma$-space, analogous to that reported earlier for unpolarized and longitudinally polarized gluons.
