The total gluon helicity in a polarized proton is shown to be a matrix element of a gauge-invariant but nonlocal, frame-dependent gluon spin operator [Formula: see text] in the large momentum limit. The operator [Formula: see text] is fit for the calculation of the total gluon helicity in lattice QCD. This calculation also implies that parton physics can be studied through the large momentum limit of frame-dependent, equal-time correlation functions of quarks and gluons.

We clarify the on-going confusion on the long-standing gauge invariance problem of the nucleon spin decomposition to the spin and angular momentum of quarks and gluons. We provide two gauge-invariant decompositions of nucleon spin which have different physical meanings, using the gauge independent Abelian decomposition. The first one is based on the assumption that all (binding and valence) gluons contribute to the nucleon spin, but the second one is based on the assumption that only the binding gluons (and the quarks) contribute to it.

We argue against the rapidly spreading idea of gauge-invariant-extension (GIE) approach in the nucleon spin decomposition problem, which implies the existence of infinitely many gauge-invariant decomposition of the nucleon spin.

I review the recent progress in understanding the complete gauge invariant decomposition of the nucleon spin with particular emphasis on its twist structure.

I review the recently achieved, complete gauge invariant decomposition of the nucleon spin and clarify its connection to twist-three GPDs. I also discuss how to compute the gluon helicity [Formula: see text] on a lattice.
