The recent update of the strangeness $-2$ ESC08c Nijmegen potential incorporating the NAGARA and KISO events predicts a $\Xi N$ bound state, $D^*$, in the $^3S_1 (I=1)$ channel. We study if the existence of this two-body bound state could…
We study the bound states of a quantum mechanical system consisting of a simple harmonic oscillator with an inverse square interaction, whose interaction strength is governed by a constant $\alpha$. The singular form of this potential has…
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…
We report a bound state of the one-dimensional two-particle (bosonic or fermionic) Hubbard model with an impurity potential. This state has the Bethe-ansatz form, although the model is nonintegrable. Moreover, for a wide region in parameter…
We try to apply a constituent quark model (a variety chiral constituent quark model) and the resonating group approach for the multi-quark problems to compute the effective potential between the $N\bar{N}$ in $S$-wave (the quarks in the…
The properties of $\Sigma$-hyperons in pure $\Sigma$ matter are studied with the finite-density quantum chromo-dynamics sum rule (QCDSR) approach. The $\Sigma\Sigma$ nuclear potential $U_\Sigma$ is most likely strongly attractive, it could…
In this paper we consider a variational problem related to a model for a nucleon interacting with the $\omega$ and $\sigma$ mesons in the atomic nucleus. The model is relativistic, and we study it in a nuclear physics nonrelativistic limit,…
We consider a free quantum particle in one dimension whose mass profile exhibits jump discontinuities. The corresponding Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint realisation of the kinetic-energy operator, with the specific realisation determined by…
Stable bound quantum states are ubiquitous in nature. Mostly, they result from the interaction of only pairs of particles, so called two-body interactions, even when large complex many-particle structures are formed. We show that…
The KNNN bound states recently discovered at KEK are studied. It is shown that the Lambda(1405) and Sigma(1385) resonant states coupled to the KN system may generate an attraction strong enough to form such bound states.
After taking into account both the pion and sigma meson exchange potential, we have performed a dynamical calculation of the $D^0\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ system. The $\sigma$ meson exchange potential is repulsive from heavy quark symmetry and…
We study the possibility of existence of bound states for two interacting He-4 atoms. It is shown that for some potentials, there exist not only discrete levels but also bands akin to those in the Kronig--Penney model.
We show that a quantum system with nonlocal interaction can have bound states of unusual type -- Isolated States (IS). IS is a bound state that is not in correspondence with the $S$-matrix pole. IS can have a positive as well as a negative…
In light of a new experiment which claims a positive identification, we discuss the possible existence of the tetraneutron. We explore a novel model based on a dineutron-dineutron molecule. We show that this model is not able to explain the…
The confirmation of charged charmonium-like states indiates that heavy quark molecules should exist. We here discuss the possibility of a molecule state with $J^{PC}=3^{-+}$. In a one-boson-exchange model investigation for the S wave $C=+$…
Within the framework of the Faddeev formalism in configuration space, we investigate bound states in the $\phi NN$ system with total isospin $T=0$ and $T=1$. The recently proposed lattice HAL QCD $\phi N$ potential in the $^{4}S_{3/2}$…
We investigate bound states in the one-dimensional two-particle Bose-Hubbard model with an attractive ($V> 0$) impurity potential. This is a one-dimensional, discrete analogy of the hydrogen negative ion H$^-$ problem. There are several…
The spectrum of strange multibaryons is considered within the chiral soliton model using one of several possible SU(3$ quantization models (the bound state rigid oscillator version). The states with energy below that of antikaon and…
We investigate the possibility to determine the value of the pion-nucleon sigma term $\sigma_{\pi N}$ precisely by the experimental observables of the deeply bound pionic atoms. We discuss the sensitivity of the observables to $\sigma_{\pi…
Possible bound and resonant states of the hypernuclear systems $\Lambda nn$ and $\Lambda\Lambda n$ are sought as zeros of the corresponding three-body Jost functions calculated within the framework of the hyperspherical approach with local…
