We examine the role of the $\Lambda(1405)$ in kaon-nucleon scattering lengths using chiral perturbation theory. The leading nonanalytic SU(3) corrections reduce the coupling of the $\Lambda (1405)$ to $KN$ compared to $\Sigma\pi$. S-wave…

We extend our previous study of the interactions of $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Lambda_c - \bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ within an analytic, unitary, coupled-channel approach by including the $J/\psi p$ channel and performing fits to the $J/\psi p$…

We calculate the shape of the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\, \pi\Sigma$ and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \,\bar K N$ decays that are dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The weak…

We study the feasibility of having the $\Sigma^*(1430)$ state, predicted within the chiral unitary approach and recently reported by the Belle Collaboration, as corresponding to a state of non-molecular nature. Starting from this…

Motivated by the recent experimental measurements, we have investigated the Cabibbo-favored process $\Lambda_c^+ \to p \bar{K}^0\eta$, where the $N(1535)$ resonance is dynamically generated from the $S$-wave pseudoscalar meson-octet baryon…

We discuss the relation between the analytic structure of the scattering amplitude and the origin of an eigenstate represented by a pole of the amplitude.If the eigenstate is not dynamically generated by the interaction in the channel of…

Within an extended chiral constituent quark model, three- and five-quark structure of the $S_{01}$ resonance $\Lambda(1405)$ is investigated. Helicity amplitudes for the electromagnetic decays ($\Lambda(1405) \to \Lambda(1116)\gamma$,…

Identifying a zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and large-$N_c$…
