Abstract

We revisit the formation of pion-mediated heavy-light exotic molecules with both charm and bottom and their chiral partners under the general strictures of both heavy-quark and chiral symmetry. The chiral exotic partners with good parity formed using the (0+,1+)(0^+, 1^+) multiplet are about twice more bound than their primary exotic partners formed using the (0,1)(0^-,1^-) multiplet. The chiral couplings across the multiplets (0±,1±)(0^\pm, 1^\pm) cause the chiral exotic partners to unbind, and the primary exotic molecules to be about twice more bound, for J1J\leq 1. Our multi-channel coupling results show that only the charm isosinglet exotic molecules with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++} binds, which we identify as the reported neutral X(3872)X(3872). Also, the bottom isotriplet exotic with JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{+-} binds, which we identify as a mixture of the reported charged exotics Zb+(10610)Z^+_b(10610) and Zb+(10650)Z^+_b(10650). The bound isosinglet with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++} is suggested as a possible neutral Xb(10532)X_b(10532) not yet reported.
