Transversely polarized Lambda production in hard scattering processes is
discussed in terms of a leading twist T-odd fragmentation function which
describes the fragmentation of an unpolarized quark into a transversely
polarized Lambda. We focus on the properties of this function and its relevance
for the RHIC and HERMES experiments.Comment: 4 pages, Latex, 3 Postscript figures; Talk presented at the 7th
