Analytical and numerical results, for the orbital and spin content carried by different quark flavors in the baryons, are given in the chiral quark model with symmetry breaking. The reduction of the quark spin, due to the spin dilution in the chiral splitting processes, is transferred into the orbital motion of quarks and antiquarks. The orbital angular momentum for each quark flavor in the proton as a function of the partition factor κ and the chiral splitting probability a is shown. The cancellation between the spin and orbital contributions in the spin sum rule and in the baryon magnetic moments is discussed.

The status of lattice calculations of the quark spin, the quark orbital angular momentum, the glue angular momentum and glue spin in the nucleon is summarized. The quark spin calculation is recently carried out from the anomalous Ward identity with chiral fermions and is found to be small mainly due to the large negative anomaly term which is believed to be the source of the ‘proton spin crisis’. We also present the first calculation of the glue spin at finite nucleon momenta.

Abstract Orbital angular momentum (OAM) plays a central role in regulating the magnetic state of electrons in non-periodic systems such as atoms and molecules. In solids, on the other hand, OAM is usually quenched by the crystal field, and thus, has a negligible effect on magnetisation. Accordingly, it is generally neglected in discussions around band topology such as Berry curvature (BC) and intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC). Here, we present a theoretical framework demonstrating that crystalline OAM can be directionally unquenched in transition metal oxides via energetic proximity of the conducting d electrons to the local magnetic moments. We show that this leads to `composite' Fermi-pockets with topologically non-trivial OAM textures. This enables a giant Berry curvature with an intrinsic non-monotonic AHC, even in collinearly-ordered spin states. We use this model to explain the origin of the giant AHC observed in the forced-ferromagnetic state of EuTiO3 and propose it as a prototype for OAM driven AHC.

It is shown that intrinsic orbital motion of the valence quarks has large influences on the spin-dependent as well as the spin-averaged nucleon structure functions. Its connection with the observed "very small contribution of quark spin to nucleon spin" and the observed violation of Gottfried sum rule is discussed.
