Abstract

We study exotic baryon systems composed of anticharmed mesons and strange baryons using the extended local hidden gauge approach. By solving the coupled-channel Bethe-Salpeter equation with interaction kernels from vector meson exchange, we explore the formation of hadronic molecular states in sectors with strangeness S=1S = -1, 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4. {We systematically consider all possible isospin configurations and include both octet and decuplet baryons in the coupled-channel systems.} \textcolor{black}{Our results indicate that attractive interactions in S=1,2S=-1,-2 can dynamically generate bound states, while systems with S=3,4S=-3,-4 have repulsive interactions and do not support molecular formation.} We also investigate vector-baryon systems with Dˉ\bar{D}^* and Dˉs\bar{D}_s^* mesons, finding similar but more deeply bound states. The results show that bound exotic states are more likely when one or two strange quarks are present. {To assess the robustness of our predictions, we perform an uncertainty analysis by varying the cutoff parameter qmax q_{\text{max}} , which affects the loop function regularization. The variations lead to moderate shifts in the pole positions, confirming the qualitative stability of the molecular states.} These results highlight the strangeness dependence of the molecular formation mechanism and provide theoretical predictions that can guide future experimental searches for exotic multistrange-anticharm baryon systems.
