Abstract: (Springer)
Generalised parton distributions (GPDs) and transverse-momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs) describe complementary aspects of the three-dimensional structure of hadrons. We discuss their relation to each other and recall important theory results concerning their properties and their connection with physical observables.
