Polarized Lambda hyperon production in Semi-inclusive deep inelastic   scattering off an unpolarized nulceon target
  We study the production of polarized $\Lambda$ hyperon in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering off an unpolarized target. We include the cases in which the $\Lambda$ hyperon is longitudinally polarized or transversely polarized, and in which the lepton beam is unpolarized or longitudinally polarized. Within the framework of the transverse momentum dependent factorization, we take into account the complete decomposition of the parton correlator for fragmentation up to twist-3. We present the cross section of the process to order $1/Q$. The expressions of the polarized structure functions, which may give rise to various spin asymmetries, are also given.
