By binding a chiral soliton to a heavy meson, either a normal $N_c$-quark baryon or an exotic $(N_c+2)$-quark baryon is obtained. By replacing the heavy quark with $N_c-1$ heavy antiquarks, exotic $(2N_c-2)$-quark and $2N_c$-quark mesons are obtained. When $N_c = 3$, they are just the normal triquark baryon $Qqq$, the exotic pentaquark baryon $Q\\bar q\\bar q\\bar q\\bar q$, tetraquark di-meson $\\bar Q \\bar Q qq$ and the hexaquark di-baryon $\\bar Q \\bar Q \\bar q \\bar q\\ bar q \\bar q$ respectively. Their stabilities and decays are also discussed. In particular, it is shown that the ``heavy to heavy'' semileptonic decays are described by the Isgur--Wise form factors of the normal baryons.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-12-05T23:17:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "systematic study", "heavy exotics", "tetraquark", "heavy quark", "exotic pentaquark baryon" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
