Chiral structure of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons (Q903862)

Summary: We systematically study the chiral structure of local tetraquark currents of flavor singlet and \(J^P=0^+\). We also investigate their chiral partners, including scalar and pseudoscalar tetraquark currents of flavor singlet, octet, \(\mathbf{10}\), \(\overline{\mathbf{10}}\), and \(\mathbf{27}\). We study their chiral transformation properties. Particularly, we use the tetraquark currents belonging to the ``nonexotic'' \([(\overline {\mathbf{3}}, \mathbf 3)\oplus(\mathbf 3,\overline {\mathbf{3}})]\) chiral multiplets to calculate the masses of light scalar mesons through QCD sum rule. The two-point correlation functions are calculated including all terms and only the connected parts ([\textit{S. Weinberg}, ``Tetraquark mesons in large-\(N\) quantum chromodynamics'', Phys. Rev.
