Abstract

We review the status as regards the existence of three- and four-body bound states made of neutrons and Λ\Lambda hyperons. For interesting cases, the coupling to neutral baryonic systems made of charged particles of different strangeness has been addressed. There are strong arguments showing that the Λnn\Lambda nn system has no bound states. ΛΛnn\Lambda\Lambda nn strong stable states are not favored by our current knowledge of the strangeness 1-1 and 2-2 baryon-baryon interactions. However, a possible Ξt\Xi^- t quasibound state decaying to ΛΛnn\Lambda\Lambda nn might exist in nature. Similarly, there is a broad agreement about the nonexistence of ΛΛn\Lambda\Lambda n bound states. However, the coupling to ΞNN\Xi NN states opens the door to a resonance above the ΛΛn\Lambda\Lambda n threshold.
