We discuss the specific features of extracting properties of the exotic polyquark hadrons (tetraquarks, pentaquarks) compared to the usual hadrons by the QCD sum-rule approach. In the case of the ordinary hadrons, already the one-loop…

We present a QCD sum rule analysis for the anti-charmed pentaquark state with and without strangeness. While the sum rules for most of the currents are either non-convergent or dominated by the $DN$ continuum, the one for the non-strange…
Inspired by the LHCb's observations of hidden-charm $P_{c(s)}$ states, we study their hidden-strange analogues $P_s$ states in both $[udu][\bar ss]$ and $[uds][\bar su]$ configurations. We investigate the $P_s$ pentaquark states in…
The mass and meson-current coupling of the diquark-antidiquark states with the quantum numbers $J^{P}=0^{+}$ and quark contents $Z_{q}=[cq][\bar {b} \bar q ]$ and $Z_{s}=[cs][\bar {b} \bar s]$ are calculated using two-point QCD sum rule…

Recently, a QCD sum-rule analysis of tetraquark molecular states has been published, having the objective of demonstrating that our previously formulated tetraquark-adequate QCD sum rules are not correct. This comment brings to the…
We consider a $[ud]^2\bar{s}$ current, in the finite-density QCD sum rule approach, to investigate the scalar and vector self-energies of the recently observed pentaquark state $\Theta^+(1540)$, propagating in nuclear mater. We find that,…
With the experimental observation of several credible candidates for multiquark hadrons, the latter states re-entered the focus of interest of theoretical strong-interaction physics. Proper treatment of hadronic bound states by quantum…
We evaluate the static $qqqq\bar{q}$ potential in the quenched theory at $\beta=5.8$ and $\beta=6.0$ on a lattice of size $16^3\times 32$. The mass and density-density correlator for the $\Theta^+$ is investigated in the quenched theory at…
We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…

In traditional QCD sum rules, the simple hadron spectral density model of ``delta-function-type ground state + theta-function-type continuous spectrum" determines that there is no perfect parameter selection. In recent years, inverse…
We investigate the $1^{-+}$ hidden-charm and hidden-bottom tetraquark states within the framework of QCD sum rules. The mass spectra are computed by including condensates up to dimension eight in the operator product expansion. Our results…
A review is given to pentaquark mass predictions in quark models and QCD. It is pointed out that no successful quark model prediction is available for low-lying pentaquark states. Some new results of direct application of QCD, QCD sum rules…
