The proper description of hadronic decays of baryon resonances has been a long standing problem in soliton models for baryons. In this talk I present a solution to this problem in the three flavor Skyrme model that is consistent with…
Within an extended Skyrme soliton model for baryons the interplay between the collective radial motion and the SU(3)--flavor--rotations is investigated. The coupling between these modes is mediated by flavor symmetry breaking. Collective…
We briefly review the formulation of chiral quark soliton model and explain the difference and similarities with the Skyrme model. Next, we apply the model to calculate non-exotic and exotic mass spectra. We concentrate on large $N_{c}$…
We review the current status of the exotic pentaquark baryons. After a brief look at experiments of both positive and negative results, we discuss theoretical methods to study the structure and reactions for the pentaquarks. First we…
We propose large $N_c$ generalizations for the "diquark" representations of SU(3)$_{\rm flav}$ relevant for positive parity heavy baryons, including putative exotic states. Next, within the framework of the Chiral Quark Soliton Model, we…
Using the exisiting experimental data for hyperon semileptonic decays and the flavor-singlet axial-vector charge $g_{A}^{(0)}$ from polarized deep inelastic scattering of the proton, we derive the decay width of the $\Theta^{+}$ pentaquark…
We study the multiquark hadrons in large $N$ QCD under the 't-Hooft limit, extending Witten's picture of the baryons. We explore the decay widths of tetraquarks, pentaquarks and dibaryons. Based on the decay behaviors, we point out in the…
The Skyrme model is reconsidered from an effective theory point of view. From the most general chiral Lagrangian up to including terms of order $p^4$, $N_c$ and $\delta m^2$ ($\delta m\equiv m_s-m$), new interactions, which have never been…
We estimate the mass and the width of pentaquark $\Theta^*$ states in the 27-plet from chiral soliton models. The calculations show that the mass of $\Theta^*$ is about 1.60 GeV and the width for the process $\Theta^*\to {KN}$ is less than…
We thoroughly compare the bound state and rigid rotator approaches to three--flavored chiral solitons. We establish that these two approaches yield identical results for the baryon spectrum and kaon--nucleon $S$--matrix in the limit that…
We calculate the widths of the various pentaquarks in a relativistic model in which the pentaquark is considered to be composed of a scalar diquark and a spin 1/2 triquark. We consider both positive and negative parity for the pentaquark.…
We report on the result of some investigations concerning the radiative decays of decuplet baryons and the non-leptonic weak decays of the octet baryons in the context of topological chiral soliton models. Our results are compared with…
The spectra of pentaquarks, some of them being observed recently, are discussed within topological soliton model and compared with simplified quark picture. Results obtained within chiral soliton model depend to some extent on the…
In the chiral quark soliton model the smallness of $\Theta^+$ width is due to the cancellation of the coupling constants which are of different order in $N_c$. We show that taking properly into account the flavor structure of relevant SU(3)…

We analyse the width of the $\theta(\frac12^+)$ pentaquark assuming that it is a bound state of two extended spin-zero $ud$-diquarks and the $\bar s$ antiquark (the Jaffe-Wilczek scenario). The width obtained when the size parameters of the…
The 1/N expansion for exotic baryons is developed, and applied to the masses, meson couplings and decay widths. Masses and widths of the 27 and 35 pentaquark states in the same tower as the Theta+ are related by spin-flavor symmetry. The 27…
