arXiv preprint arXiv:0807.1138, 2008•arxiv.orgWe use a spectator framework to investigate the spectral properties of quark-quark-gluon
correlators and use this to study gluonic pole matrix elements. Such matrix elements appear
in principle both for distribution functions such as the Sivers function and fragmentation
functions such as the Collins function. We find that the contribution of the gluonic pole matrix
element in fragmentation functions vanishes. This outcome is important in the study of
universality for fragmentation functions.
