Abstract
We construct small-$x$ evolution equations which can be used to
calculate quark and anti-quark helicity TMDs and PDFs, along with
the $g_1$ structure function. These evolution equations resum powers
of $\as \, \ln^2 (1/x)$ in the polarization-dependent evolution
along with the powers of $\as \, \ln (1/x)$ in the unpolarized
evolution which includes saturation effects. The equations are
written in an operator form in terms of polarization-dependent
Wilson line-like operators. While the equations do not close in
general, they become closed and self-contained systems of non-linear
equations in the large-$N_c$ and large-$N_c \, \& \, N_f$ limits.
