TMD PDF's: gauge invariance, RG properties and Wilson lines

The UV divergences associated with transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDF) are calculated together with the ensuing one-loop anomalous dimensions in the light-cone gauge. Time-reversal-odd effects in the anomalous dimensions are observed and the role of Glauber gluons is discussed. A generalized renormalization procedure of TMD PDFs is proposed, relying upon the renormalization of contour-dependent operators with obstructions.
