Assuming that the recently observed $\Theta^+$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are members of an anti-decuplet of SU(3), decays to ground state baryons and mesons are calculated using an effective Lagrangian which incorporates chiral and SU(3) symmetry. We…
We re-analyze the predictions of chiral-soliton models for the masses and decay widths of baryons in the exotic antidecuplet of flavour SU(3). The calculated ranges of the chiral-soliton moment of inertia and the \pi-nucleon scattering…
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 introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
We revisit the doublet-triplet splitting problem within the $SU(5)$ gauge group framework to advocate a viable regime with the light scalar leptoquark of the doublet-triplet splitting notoriety that is compatible with the current…
Using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian we study s-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons. We find two bound states in the flavour SU(3) limit corresponding to the octet and decuplet representations.…
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 study the group structure of baryon anti-decuplet containing the $\Theta^+$. We derive the SU(3) mass relations among the pentaquark baryons in the anti-decuplet, when there is either no mixing or ideal mixing with the pentaquark octet,…
We compute the spectra of exotic pentaquarks and monopole excitations of the low--lying ${1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons in a chiral soliton model. Once the low--lying baryon properties are fit, the other states are predicted without any…
Masses of heavy mesons, tetraquarks and pentaquarks computed in a potential model are shown. Tetraquarks are studied as bound states of a diquark and an antidiquark. Pentaquarks are constructed from a series of two-body interactions between…
A possible Standard Model extension of the Pati-Salam type with a lepton number as the fourth color is reexamined. A new type of mixing in the interaction of the $SU(4)_V$--leptoquark with quarks and leptons is shown to be required. An…
In a diquark-diquark-antiquark picture of the pentaquark we study the decay $\Theta \rightarrow K^{+} n$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. After evaluation of the relevant three-point function, we extract the coupling $g_{\Theta nK}$…
We use the chiral quark soliton model to estimate masses and widths of the two eikosiheptaplets (27-plets of SU(3) flavor) of spin 3/2 and 1/2 that emerge in the rigid rotator quantization. We use as input: hyperon decays, Theta+ mass and…
In a previous work we have studied the isospin 1/2 lowest positive and negative parity states of the pentaquark $uudc\overline{c}$, in a constituent quark model with a linear confinement and an SU(4) flavor-spin hyperfine interaction and we…
In the SU(3) symmetry limit, semileptonic $D^+\to Sl^+\nu$ and $B^-\to Sl^-\bar\nu$ decays, with $S=a_0(980)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(600)$, are found to obey different sum rules in the $\bar qq$ and the tetra-quark descriptions for scalar…
We review the spectrum of all baryons with the mass less than approximately 2000-2200 MeV using methods based on the approximate flavor SU(3) symmetry of the strong interaction. The application of the Gell-Mann--Okubo mass formulas and…
We present new compact integrated expressions of SU3 breaking corrections to QCD spectral functions of heavy-light molecules and four-quark XYZ-like states at lowest order (LO) of perturbative (PT) QCD and up to d=8 condensates of the OPE.…
Dynamical calculations are performed for all members of the flavor antidecuplet to which the pentaquark $\Theta^+$ belongs. The framework is a constituent quark model where the short-range interaction has a flavor-spin structure. From…
We address the issue of model dependence of partial proton decays due to exchange of a single scalar leptoquark within a minimal viable SU(5) framework. The minimal setup predicts a flavor part of the proton decay widths for channels with…
In this work, we systematically calculate the spectrum of hidden-charm pentaquark states $qqqc\bar{c}$ $(q = u,d)$ in the chiral SU(3) quark model, which has been quite successful in reproducing consistently the energies of octet and…
