By taking into light the discovery of pentaquark structures like $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)^0$, $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$, we performed the spectroscopy of hidden-bottom pentaquarks. By utilizing special unitary representations, we…
The flavor SU(3) group structure of pentaquark baryons which form $\bm{1}$, $\bm{8}$, $\bm{10}$, $\bar{\bm{10}}$, $\bm{27}$, and $\bm{35}$ multiplets is investigated in quark model. The flavor wave functions of all the pentaquark baryons…
For the case of two light flavors we propose the stringy description of the system consisting of two heavy and three light quarks, with the aim of exploring the quark organization inside the system and its low-lying Born-Oppenheimer…

We study the possibility of soft breaking effects of the generalized parity within the minimal Left-Right model. One aim of the paper is to elaborate on the potentiality, the limit, and the predictivity of a restored parity at high scale.…
Motivated by the possible observation of the $\Theta^+(1530)$, we study the quark structure of pentaquark states in quenched lattice QCD. The complete set of 19 local sources that have the proper symmetry for positive or negative parity…
Hadronic states composed of multi-quark flavors may exist in reality since they are not prohibited by QCD. Compact four quark systems of color singlet are classified as tetraquarks. To understand the properties of these states, more…
We study $\Lambda$ baryons of spin-parity $\frac{1}{2}^{\pm}$ with either a strange or charm valence quark in full 2+1 flavor lattice QCD. Multiple $SU(3)$ singlet and octet operators are employed to generate the desired single baryon…
By assuming SU(6)_cs symmetry for pentaquark decays one finds a selection rule, which strongly reduces the number of states able to decay into a baryon and a meson final state and allows an intriguing identification for the Theta^+ particle…
We study the existence of fully-heavy hidden-flavor $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquark states with various $J^{PC}=0^{\pm+}, 0^{--},1^{\pm\pm}, 2^{++}$, by using the moment QCD sum rule method augmented by fundamental inequalities. Using the…
Recently the observation of a new pentaquark state, the hidden-charmed strange $P_{cs}(4459)^0$, was reported by the LHCb Collaboration. The spin-parity quantum numbers of this state were not determined as a result of insufficient…
In this work, we estimate the masses of tetraquark states with four different flavors by virtue of QCD sum rules, in both $b$ and $c$ sectors. We construct four $[8_c]_{\bar{b} s} \otimes [8_c]_{\bar{d} u}$ tetraquark currents with $J^P =…
The recently postulated existence of a baryon antidecuplet [1] can be reproduced in strong coupling theory in which a bare baryon spin 1/2 octet interacts with an octet of pseudoscalar mesons. When a suitable mixture of F- and D-type Yukawa…
Inspired by the very recently discovered tetraquark states $T_{c\bar s 0}^a(2900)^{0,++}$ from the LHCb Collaboration, we predict the existence of a new charmed-strange pentaquark system, $c\bar s nnn$, which is closely connected to $c\bar…
We study the stability of the pentaquarks uuddQbar, uudsQbar and udssQbar (Q = c, b, or t) of positive parity in a constituent quark model based on Goldstone boson exchange interaction between quarks. The pentaquark parity is the antiquark…
We review and discuss the experimental evidence on predicted baryonic states made by 4 quarks and one antiquark, called pentaquarks. Theoretical and experimental advances in the last few years led to the observation of pentaquark candidates…
Confirming the existence of hybrid states remains challenging due to their experimental indistinguishability from tightly bound tetraquarks and loosely bound molecules. To address this issue, we employ QCD sum rules to systematically…

We study $IJ^P=0{3/2}^\pm$ and $1{3/2}^\pm$ pentaquark states with $S=+1$ in the QCD sum rule approach. The QCD sum rule for positive parity states and that for negative parity are independently derived. The sum rule suggests that there…
If a narrow Theta^+ pentaquark exists, it is likely that a ud\bar s-ud triquark-diquark configuration is a significant component of its wave function. If so, the mechanism responsible for the binding of a triquark and a diquark is also…
