Abstract
We re-estimate the tensor susceptibility of the QCD vacuum, 
,
and to this end, we re-estimate the tensor coupling constants
for the transversely polarized 
-, 
- and b1-mesons.
The origin of the susceptibility is analyzed using (anti-)duality
between the - and b1- channels in the 2-point correlator
of the tensor currents. We conclude that the origin of the differences
in
- and b1-meson masses and tensor couplings
is the (anti-)duality breakdown in QCD due to the 4-quark condensate.
We confirm the results of Govaerts et al.
for the 2-point correlator of the tensor currents and
disagree with Belyaev and Oganesyan
on both the OPE expansion
and the value of the QCD vacuum tensor susceptibility.
Using our value for the latter we determine new estimations
of the nucleon tensor charges related to the first moment
of the transverse structure function h1 of a nucleon.
