Publication Abstract: Transition generalized parton distributions have emerged as a novel tool for studying the quantum chromodynamics~(QCD) structure of resonances. They provide an integrated picture of the transition form factors and the transition parton distribution functions. In this study, we delve into the angular momentum~(AM) properties for the $N\to \Delta$ transition and its decomposition into the orbital angular momentum and the intrinsic spin in the context of the quark distribution functions. First, we explore the spin-flavor structures within the framework of both the overlap representations of the three-quark light-cone wave functions and the large $N_c$ limit of QCD. We then estimate the AM quark distribution functions for the $N\to \Delta$ transition. Our analysis reveals a substantial flavor asymmetry present in both the orbital angular momentum and intrinsic spin components.
