Abstract
It is shown, that if the pentaquark baryon can be represented by the local quark current , its decay is forbidden in the limit of chirality conservation. The decay width is proportional to , where , is quark condensate, and, therefore, is strongly suppressed. Also the polarization operator of the pentaquark current with isospin 1 is calculated using the operator product expansion and estimation for it mass is obtained .
