Abstract
Generalized parton distribution functions (GPDs) of spin-3/2 particles are defined for the first time in this paper. Eight unpolarized and eight polarized GPDs are found. In the forward limit of GPDs, the structure functions and parton distribution functions are obtained. Then, the sum rules that connect the GPDs with the electromagnetic and gravitational form factors are explicitly displayed. Finally, the relations between GPDs and the helicity amplitudes of the system are derived.
