摘要
Weinberg recently pointed out a flaw in the standard argument that large N-c QCD with color-fundamental quarks [QCD(F)] cannot yield narrow tetraquark states. In particular, he observed that the argument does not rule out narrow tetraquarks associated with the leading-order connected diagrams; such tetraquarks would have a width scaling as N-c(-1). It is shown here, however, that while the standard analysis of tetraquarks does not rule them out, a more thorough analysis rules out quantum-number exotic tetraquarks associated with the leading-order connected diagrams. This analysis is based entirely on conventional assumptions used in large N-c physics applied to the analytic properties of meson-meson scattering. Our result implies that one of three possibilities must be true: (i) quantum-number exotic tetraquarks do not exist at large N-c; (ii) quantum-number exotic tetraquarks exist, but are associated with subleading connected diagrams and have anomalously small widths that scale as N-c(-2) or smaller; or (iii) the conventional assumptions used in large N-c analysis are inadequate.
