These talks review and summarize our results in [1,2] on $XYZ$-like spectra obtained from QCD Laplace Sum Rules in the chiral limit at next-to-next-leading order (N2LO) of perturbation theory (PT) and including leading order (LO) contributions of dimensions $dleq 6-8$ non-perturbative condensates. We conclude that the observed $XZ$ states are good candidates for $1^{+}$ and $0^+$ molecules or / and four-quark states while the predictions for $1^-$ and $0^-$ states are about 1.5 GeV above the $Y_{c,b}$ experimental candidates and hadronic thresholds. We (numerically) find that these exotic molecules couple weakly to the corresponding interpolating currents than ordinary $D,B$ heavy-light mesons while we observe that these couplings decrease faster [$1/m_b^{3/2}$ (resp. $1/m_b$) for the $1^+,0^+$ (resp. $1^-,0^-)$ states] than $1/m_b^{1/2}$. Our results do not also confirm the existence of the $X(5568)$ state in agreement with LHCb findings.
We present new compact integrated expressions of 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 Operator Product Expansion (OPE). Then, by including up to next-to-next leading order (N2LO) PT QCD corrections, which we have estimated by assuming the factorization of the four-quark spectral functions, we improve previous LO results from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), on the $XYZ$-like masses and decay constants which suffer from the ill-defined heavy quark mass. PT N3LO corrections are estimated using a geometric growth of the PT series and are included in the systematic errors. Our optimal results based on stability criteria are summarized in Tables 11 to 14 and compared, in Section 10, with experimental candidates and some LO QSSR results. We conclude that the masses of the $XZ$ observed states are compatible with (almost) pure $J^{PC}=1^{+pm}, 0^{++}$ molecule or/and four-quark states. The ones of the $1^{-pm}, 0^{-pm}$ molecule / four-quark states are about 1.5 GeV above the $Y_{c,b}$ mesons experimental candidates and hadronic thresholds. We also find that the couplings of these exotics to the associated interpolating currents are weaker than that of ordinary $D,B$ mesons ($f_{DD}approx 10^{-3}f_D$) and may behave numerically as $1/ bar m_b^{3/2}$ (resp. $1/ bar m_b$) for the $1^{+},0^{+}$ (resp. $1^{-}, 0^{-}$) states which can stimulate further theoretical studies of these decay constants.
We use QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and the factorization properties of molecule and four-quark currents to estimate the masses and couplings of the 0+ and 1+ molecules and four-quark at N2LO of PT QCD. We include in the OPE the contributions of non-perturbative condensates up to dimension-six. Within the Laplace sum rules approach (LSR) and in the MS-scheme, we summarize our results in Table 2, which agree within the errors with some of the observed XZ-like molecules or/and four-quark. Couplings of these states to the currents are also extracted. Our results are improvements of the LO ones in the existing literature.
We review our results in Refs.[1,2] for the masses and couplings of heavy-light DD(BB)-like molecules and (Qq)(Qq)-like four-quark states from relativistic QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR) where next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) PT corrections in the chiral limit, next-to-leading order (NLO) SU3 PT corrections and non-perturbative contributions up to dimension d=6-8 are included. The factorization properties of molecule and four-quark currents have been used for the estimate of the higher order PT corrections. New integrated compact expressions of the spectral functions at leading order (LO) of perturbative QCD and up to dimensions d< (6 - 8) non-perturbative condensates are presented. The results are summarized in Tables 5 to 10, from which we conclude, within the errors, that the observed XZ states are good candidates for being 1^{++} and 0^{++} molecules or/and four-quark states, contrary to the observed Y states which are too light compared to the predicted 1^{-pm} and 0^{-pm} states. We find that the SU3 breakings are relatively small for the masses (< 10(resp. 3)%) for the charm (resp. bottom) channels while they are large (< 20%) for the couplings which decrease faster (1/m_{b}^{3/2}) than 1/m_{b}^{1/2} of HQET. QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) approach cannot clearly separate (within the errors) molecules from four-quark states having the same quantum numbers. Results for the BK (DK)-like molecules and (Qq)(us)-like four-quark states from [3] are also reviewed which do not favour the molecule or/and four-quark interpretation of the X(5568). We suggest to scan the charm (2327 ~ 2444) MeV and bottom (5173 ~ 5226) MeV regions for detecting the (unmixed)(cu)ds and (bu)ds states. We expect that future experimental data and lattice results will check our predictions.
We present a global analysis of the observed Z_c, Z_cs and future Z_css-like spectra using the inverse Laplace transform (LSR) version of QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) within stability criteria. Integrated compact QCD expressions of the LO spectral functions up to dimension-six condensates are given. Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) factorized perturbative contributions are included. We re-emphasize the importance to include PT radiative corrections (though numerically small) for heavy quark sum rules in order to justify the (ad hoc) definition and value of the heavy quark mass used frequently at LO in the literature. We also demonstrate that, contrary to a naive qualitative 1/N_c counting, the two-meson scattering contributions to the four-quark spectral functions are numerically negligible confirming the reliability of the LSR predictions. Our results are summarized in Tables III to VI. The Z_c(3900) and Z_cs(3983) spectra are well reproduced by the T_c(3900) and T_cs(3973) tetramoles (superposition of quasi-degenerated molecules and tetraquark states having the same quantum numbers and with almost equal couplings to the currents). The Z_c(4025) or Z_c(4040) state can be fitted with the D*_0D_1 molecule having a mass 4023(130) MeV while the Z_cs bump around 4.1 GeV can be likely due to the (D^*_s0D_1+ D^*_0D_s1) molecules. The Z_c(4430) can be a radial excitation of the Z_c(3900) weakly coupled to the current, while all strongly coupled ones are in the region (5634-6527) MeV. The double strange tetramole state T_css which one may identify with the future Z_css is predicted to be at 4064(46) MeV. It is remarkable to notice the regular mass-spliitings of the tetramoles due to SU(3) breakings M_{T_cs}-M_{T_c}= M_{T_css}-M_{T_cs= (73- 91) MeV.
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. Including N2LO PT corrections in the chiral limit and NLO SU3 PT corrections, which we have estimated by assuming the factorization of the four-quark spectral functions, we improve previous LO results for the XYZ-like masses and decay constants from QCD spectral sum rules. Systematic errors are estimated from a geometric growth of the higher order PT corrections and from some partially known d=8 non-perturbative contributions. Our optimal results, based on stability criteria, are summarized in Tables 18 to 21 and compared with some LO results in Table 22. In most channels, the SU3 corrections on the meson masses are tiny: < 10% (resp. <3%) for the c (resp. b)-quark channel but can be large for the couplings (< 20%). Within the lowest dimension currents, most of the 0^{++} and 1^{++} states are below the physical thresholds while our predictions cannot discriminate a molecule from a four-quark state. A comparison with the masses of some experimental candidates indicates that the 0^{++} X(4500) might have a large D^*_{s0}D^*_{s0} molecule component while an interpretation of the 0^{++} candidates as four-quark ground states is not supported by our findings. The 1^{++} X(4147) and X(4273) are compatible with the D^*_{s}D_{s}, bar D^*_{s0}D_{s1} molecules and/or with the axial-vector A_c four-quark ground state. Our results for the 0^{-pm}, 1^{-pm} and for different beauty states can be tested in the future data. Finally, we revisit our previous estimates [1] for the D^*_{0}D^*_{0} and D^*_{0}D_{1} and present new results for the D_1D_1.
