It has been argued based on electric-magnetic duality that the Jones polynomial of a knot in three dimensions can be computed by counting the solutions of certain gauge theory equations in four-dimension. And the Euler characteristic of Khovanov homology is the Jones polynomial which corresponds to the partition function of twisted $N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. Moreover, Lee-Yang type phase transition is found in the topological twisted super Yang-Mills theory.
In the framework of quark delocalization color screening model, the three new reported pentaquarks $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$ can be identified as the hidden-charm molecular states $Σ_{c}D$ with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, $Σ_{c}D^{*}$ with $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, and $Σ_{c}D^{*}$ with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, in the baryon-meson scattering process, respectively. Besides, the $Σ^{*}_{c}D^{*}$ of both $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ are also possible molecular pentaquarks. Moreover, the calculation is extended to the $P_{c}-$like molecular pentaquarks $P_{b}$. Several states with masses above $11$ GeV and narrow width are obtained. All these heavy pentaquarks are worth searching in the future experiments.
Inspired by the recent observation of exotic resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4350)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$ reported by several experiment collaborations, we investigated the four-quark system $cs\bar c\bar s$ with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ and $0^{++}$ in the framework of the chiral quark model. Two configurations, diquark-antidiquark and meson-meson, with all possible color structures are considered. The results show that no molecular state can be formed, but the resonance may exist if the color structure of meson-meson configuration is $8\otimes8$. In the present calculation, the $X(4274)$ can be assigned as the $cs\bar c\bar s$ tetraquark states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, but the energy of $X(4140)$ is too low to be regarded as the tetraquark state. $X(4350)$ can be a good candidate of compact tetraquark state with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. When the radial excitation is taken into account, the $X(4700)$ can be explained as the $2S$ radial excited tetraquark state with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. As for $X(4500)$, there is no matching state in our calculation.
The worldsheet of the string theory, which consisting of 26 free scalar fields in Minkowski space, is two dimensional conformal field theory. If we denote the two dimension conformal field theory by elliptic curve and denote the partition function of string theory by modular form, then the relation between conformal field theory and the string theory can be represented as the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. Moreover, it also can be generalized to the $F$-theory.
The system of a proton and an electron in an inert and impenetrable spherical cavity is studied by solving Schrödinger equation with the correct boundary conditions. The differential equation of a hydrogen atom in a cavity is derived. The numerical results are obtained with the help a power and efficient few-body method, Gaussian Expansion Method. The results show that the correct implantation of the boundary condition is crucial for the energy spectrum of hydrogen in a small cavity.
In the framework of the quark delocalization color screening model, we investigate tetraquarks composed of $us\bar{d}\bar{b}$ and $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ in two structures: meson-meson structure and diquark-antidiquark structure. Neither bound state nor resonance state is found in the system composed of $us\bar{d}\bar{b}$. The reported $X(5568)$ cannot be explained as a molecular state or a diquark-antidiquark resonance of $us\bar{d}\bar{b}$ in present calculation. However, two bound states of the diquark-antidiquark structure are obtained in the tetraquarks system composed of $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$: an $IJ=00$ state with the mass of $5701$ MeV, and an $IJ=01$ state with the mass of $5756$ MeV, which maybe the partners of $X(5568)$ states. Our results indicate that the diquark-antidiquark configuration would be a good choice for the tetraquarks $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ with quantum numbers $IJ=00$ and $IJ=01$. The tetraquarks composed of $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ is more possible to form bound states than the one composed of $us\bar{d}\bar{b}$. These bound states are worth investigating in future experiments.
In the framework of quark delocalization color screening model, both the hidden-charm and hidden-bottom pentaquark resonances are studied in the hadron-hadron scattering process. A few narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-charm above $4.2$ GeV, and some narrow pentaquark resonances with hidden-bottom above $11$ GeV are found from corresponding scattering processes. Besides, the states $Nη_{c}$, $NJ/ψ$, $Nη_{b}$ and $NΥ$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}^{-}$, as well as $NJ/ψ$ and $NΥ$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ are all possible to be bound by channel-coupling calculation. All these heavy pentaquarks are worth searching in the future experiments.
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported strong evidences of the existence of pentaquark states in the hidden-charm baryon sector, the so-called $P_c(4380)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ signals. Five-quark bound states in the hidden-charm sector were explored by us using, for the quark-quark interaction, a chiral quark model which successfully explains meson and baryon phenomenology, from the light to the heavy quark sector. We extend herein such study but to the hidden-bottom pentaquark sector, analyzing possible bound-states with spin-parity quantum numbers $J^P=\frac12^\pm$, $\frac32^\pm$ and $\frac52^\pm$, and in the $\frac12$ and $\frac32$ isospin sectors. We do not find positive parity hidden-bottom pentaquark states; however, several candidates with negative parity are found with dominant baryon-meson structures $Σ_b^{(\ast)}\bar{B}^{(\ast)}$. The calculated distances among any pair of quarks within the bound-state reflect that molecular-type bound-states are favored when only color-singlet configurations are considered in the coupled-channels calculation whereas compact pentaquarks, which are also deeply bound, can be found when hidden-color configurations are added. Finally, our findings resemble the ones found in the hidden-charm sector but, as expected, we find in the hidden-bottom sector larger binding energies and bigger contributions of the hidden-color configurations.
Inspired by the report of D0 Collaboration on the state $X(5568)$ with four different flavors, a similar state, $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ is investigated in the present work. The advantage of looking for this state over the state $X(5568)$ with quark contents, $bu\bar{d}\bar{s}$ or $bd\bar{u}\bar{s}$, is that the $BK$ threshold is 270 MeV higher than that of $B_s π$, and it allows a large mass region for $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ to be stable. The chiral quark model and Gaussian expansion method are employed to do the calculations of four-quark states $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ with quantum numbers $IJ^{P}$($I=0,1;~ J=0,1,2;~P=+$). Two structures, diquark-antidiquark and meson-meson, with all possible color configurations are considered. The results indicate that energies of the tetraquark with diquark-antiquark configuration are all higher than the threshold of $BK$, but for the state of $IJ^P=00^+$ in the meson-meson structure, the energies are below the corresponding thresholds, where the color channel coupling plays an important role. The distances between two objects (quark/antiquark) show that the state is a molecular one.
Within the framework of the color flux-tube model with a multibody confinement potential, we systematically investigate the hidden charmed states observed in recent years. It can be found that most of them can be described as the compact tetraquark states $[cq][\bar{c}\bar{q}]$ ($q=u,d$ and $s$) in the color flux-tube model. The multibody confinement potential based on the color flux-tube picture is a dynamical mechanism in the formation and decay of the compact tetraquark states.
The $1S$, $2S$, $1P$ and $2P$ states of light baryons are investigated within the chiral quark model, paying particular attention to the well-known order reverse problem of $1P$ and $2S$ states. Besides a nonperturbative linear-screened confining interaction and a perturbative one-gluon exchange between quarks, we incorporate the Goldstone-boson exchanges taking into account not only the full octet of pseudoscalar mesons but also the scalar one. The scalar meson exchange potential simulates the higher order multi-pion exchange terms that appear in the chiral Lagrangian and its omission has been already admitted as a deficiency of the original model in describing, for instance, the $ρ-ω$ splitting. The numerical approach to the three body bound state problem is the so-called Gaußian expansion method, which is able to get a precision as good as Faddeev calculations. With a set of parameters fixed to different hadron and hadron-hadron observables, we find that the chiral potential could play an important role towards the issue on the mass order reverse problem. We extend our calculation to the $qqQ$ and $qQQ$ sectors (with $q$ representing a light $u$-, $d$-, or $s$-quark and $Q$ denoting the charm quark or the bottom one) in which many new states have been recently observed. Some tentative assignments are done attending to the agreement between theoretical and experimental masses; however, we admit that other sources of information are needed in order to make strong claims about the nature of these states.
In the framework of the chiral quark model, we investigate the hidden strange pentaquark system of the $Nϕ$ state with the quantum numbers of IJ=$\frac{1}{2}$$\frac{3}{2}$. The results show that the $Nϕ$ state can be bound through the interaction of the $σ$ meson exchange plus the effect of the channel coupling, which means that the effect of the channel coupling has an influence on the existence of this bound state.
Inspired by the experimental report by WASA-at-COSY Collaboration, we investigate the possibile existence of the dibaryon candidate $NΔ$ with quantum numbers $IJ^P=21^+$ ($D_{21}$). The dynamical calculation shows that we cannot obtain the bound $D_{21}$ state in the models which can obtain the experimental $d^{*}$. %although the $D_{21}$ state can bound in the range of parameters in quark models. The low-energy scattering phase shifts of the $N-Δ$ scattering give the same conclusion. Besides, the mass calculation by using the Gursey-Radicati mass formula and the analysis of the matrix elements of the color magnetic interaction show that the mass of $D_{21}$ is larger than that of $D_{12}$ ($NΔ$ with $IJ^P=12^+$), which indicate that it is less possible for the $D_{21}$ than the $D_{12}$ to form bound state.
Analogous to the work of hidden charm molecular pentaquarks, we study possible hidden strange molecular pentaquarks composed of $Σ$ (or $Σ^{*}$) and $K$ (or $K^{*}$) in the framework of quark delocalization color screening model. Our results suggest that the $ΣK$, $ΣK^{*}$ and $Σ^{*} K^{*}$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $ΣK^{*}$, $Σ^{*} K$ and $Σ^{*} K^{*}$ with $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ are all resonance states by coupling the open channels. The molecular pentaquark $Σ^{*} K$ with quantum numbers $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ can be seen as a strange partner of the LHCb $P_{c}(4380)$ state, and it can be identified as the nucleon resonance $N^{*}(1875)$ listed in PDG. The $ΣK^{*}$ with quantum numbers $IJ^{P}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{3}{2}^{-}$ can be identified as the $N^{*}(2100)$, which was experimentally observed in the $ϕ$ photo-production.
The first study of the dissociation temperature of nucleon in hot QCD medium in the framework of constituent quark model is presented. The temperature-dependent potential energy of the three quark system, taking as the internal energy of the system are obtained from the free energy of the system, and the temperature-dependent free energy is derived based on Debye-Hückel theory. The lattice QCD results of the free energy for heavy three-quark system are employed and extended to the light three-quark system. The Schrödinger equation for nucleon is solved with the help of Gaussian expansion method and the dissociation temperature of the nucleon is determined according to the temperature dependence of binding energy and radii. Comparing with the dissociation temperature of $J/ψ$, the dissociation temperature of nucleon is higher. So, nucleon is more difficult to melt than Charmonium.
We investigate the hidden strange light baryon-meson system. With the resonating-group method, two bound states, $η'-N$ and $ϕ-N$, are found in the quark delocalization color screening model. Focusing on the $ϕ-N$ bound state around 1950\,MeV, we obtain the total decay width of about 4\,MeV by calculating the phase shifts in the resonance scattering processes. To study the feasibility of an experimental search for the $ϕ-N$ bound state, we perform a Monte Carlo simulation of the bound state production with an electron beam and a gold target. In the simulation, we use the CLAS12 detector with the Forward Tagger and the BONUS12 detector in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. Both the signal and the background channels are estimated. We demonstrate that the signal events can be separated from the background with some momentum cuts. Therefore it is feasible to experimentally search for the $ϕ-N$ bound state through the near threshold $ϕ$ meson production from heavy nuclei.
We perform the energy spectra calculating for the $S$-wave $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ (where $Q=c,b$ and $q=u,d,s$) system within two constituent quark models. The bound states of $B^*\bar{B}^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=1(0^{++}),~1(1^{+-}),~0(2^{++})$ and $B\bar{B}^*$ with isospin $I=1$, or $0$ are obtained in color-singlet-singlet channel. If considering the coupling of color channels, apart from the deep bound states appear in $[b\bar{q}]^{(*)}[q\bar{b}]^{(*)}$ scenario, a bound state $[c\bar{q}]^*[q\bar{c}]^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=1(0^{++})$ is also formed. The $B\bar{B}^*$ and the $B^*\bar{B}^*$ with quantum number $1(1^{+-})$ are well candidates for $Z_b^{\pm}(10610)$ and $Z_b^{\pm}(10650)$ reported by Belle collaboration respectively, while the $B\bar{B}^*$ with isospin $0$ can be interpret as a candidate for $Z_b^{0}(10610)$. A bound state $[c\bar{q}]^*[q\bar{c}]^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=1(0^{++})$ is comparable with $Z_c^{+}(4025)$ announced by BES.
We perform a coupled-channels calculation of the masses of light mesons with the quantum numbers $IJ^{P=-}$, $(I,J)=0,1$, by including $q\bar{q}$ and $(q\bar{q})^2$ components in a nonrelativistic chiral quark model. The coupling between two- and four-quark configurations is realized through a $^3P_0$ quark-pair creation model. With the usual form of this operator, the mass shifts are large and negative, an outcome which raises serious issues of validity for the quenched quark model. Herein, therefore, we introduce some improvements of the $^3P_0$ operator in order to reduce the size of the mass shifts. By introducing two simple factors, physically well motivated, the coupling between $q\bar{q}$ and $(q\bar{q})^2$ components is weakened, producing mass shifts that are around 10-20% of hadron bare masses.
