We investigate the possible existence of triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states in the off-shell coupled-channel formalism. The open-charm meson-baryon DˉsΩc, DˉsΩc∗, Dˉs∗Ωc, and Dˉs∗Ωc∗ channels are considered, together with the hidden-charm J/ψΩ channel. The two-body kernel Feynman amplitudes are constructed from an effective Lagrangian based on hidden local symmetry and heavy-quark spin symmetry. The coupled Blankenbecler-Sugar equation is solved in the partial-wave helicity basis. We observe two triple-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states: Pccˉsss(4787) and Pccˉsss(4841), both with JP=1/2−. The Pccˉsss(4787) couples dominantly to the Dˉs∗Ωc and Dˉs∗Ωc∗ channels, while the Pccˉsss(4841) couples almost exclusively to the Dˉs∗Ωc∗ channel. The total transition cross sections of Dˉs(∗)Ωc(∗)→J/ψΩ indicate that the Pccˉsss(4787) is clearly visible in the J/ψΩ invariant mass spectrum, whereas the Pccˉsss(4841) is obscured by cusp structures and background contributions.
