    The three-body ηKKˉ\eta K^*\bar{K}^*, πKKˉ\pi K^*\bar{K}^* and KKKˉKK^*\bar{K}^* systems are investigated within the framework of fixed-center approximation to the Faddeev equations, where KKˉK^*\bar{K}^* is treated as the scalar meson f0(1710)f_0(1710). The interactions between π\pi, η\eta, KK and KK^* are taking from the chiral unitary approach. By scattering the η\eta meson on the clusterized (KKˉ)f0(1710)(K^*\bar{K}^*)_{f_0(1710)} system, we find a peak in the modulus squared of the three-body scattering amplitude and it can be associated as a bound state with quantum numbers IG(JPC)=0+(0+)I^G(J^{PC})=0^+(0^{-+}). Its mass and width are around 2054 MeV and 60 MeV, respectively. This state could be associated to the η(2100)\eta(2100) meson. For the π(KKˉ)f0(1710)\pi (K^*\bar{K}^*)_{f_0(1710)} scattering, we find a bump structure around 1900-2000 MeV with quantum numbers 1(0+)1^-({0^{-+}}). While for the KKKˉ)f0(1710)K K^* \bar{K}^*)_{f_0(1710)} system, there are three structures. One of them is much stable and its mass is about 2130 MeV. It is expected that these theoretical predictions here could be tested by future experimental measurements, such as by the BESIII, BelleII and LHCb collaborations.Comment: 10 pages, 15 figure

    Further results on bar k-visibility graphs

    A bar visibility representation of a graph G is a collection of horizontal bars in the plane corresponding to the vertices of G such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding bars can be joined by an unobstructed vertical line segment. In a bar k-visibility graph, two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding bars can be joined by a vertical line segment that intersects at most k other bars. Bar k-visibility graphs were introduced by Dean, Evans, Gethner, Laison, Safari, and Trotter in [3]. In this paper, we present sharp upper bounds on the maximum number of edges in a bar k-visibility graph on n vertices and the largest order of a complete bar k-visibility graph. We also discuss regular bar k-visibility graphs and forbidden induced subgraphs of bar k-visibility graphs

    Abstract. A bar visibility representation of a graph G is a collection of horizontal bars in the plane corresponding to the vertices of G such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding bars can be joined by an unobstructed vertical line segment. In a bar k-visibility graph, two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding bars can be joined by a vertical line segment that intersects at most k other bars. Bar k-visibility graphs were introduced by Dean et al. [J. Graph Algorithms Appl., 11 (2007), pp. 45–59]. In this paper, we present sharp upper bounds on the maximum number of edges in a bar k-visibility graph on n vertices and the largest order of a complete bar k-visibility graph. We also discuss regular bar k-visibility graphs and forbidden induced subgraphs of bar k-visibility graphs

    Observation of Ω(2012)Ξ(1530)Kˉ\Omega(2012)^- \to \Xi(1530)\bar{K} and measurement of the effective couplings of Ω(2012)\Omega(2012)^- to Ξ(1530)Kˉ\Xi(1530)\bar{K} and ΞKˉ\Xi\bar{K}

    Using Υ(1S)\Upsilon(1S), Υ(2S)\Upsilon(2S), and Υ(3S)\Upsilon(3S) data collected by the Belle detector, we discover a new resonant three-body decay Ω(2012)Ξ(1530)0KΞπ+K\Omega(2012)^-\to \Xi(1530)^0 K^-\to\Xi^-\pi^+K^- with a significance of 5.2σ\sigma. The mass of the Ω(2012)\Omega(2012)^- is (2012.5±0.7±0.5)(2012.5\pm0.7\pm0.5) MeV and its effective couplings to Ξ(1530)Kˉ\Xi(1530)\bar{K} and ΞKˉ\Xi\bar{K} are (41.1±35.8±6.0)×102(41.1\pm35.8\pm6.0)\times10^{-2} and (1.7±0.3±0.3)×102(1.7\pm0.3\pm0.3)\times10^{-2}, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. The ratio of the branching fraction for the resonant three-body decay to that for the two-body decay to ΞKˉ\Xi\bar{K} is 0.97±0.24±0.070.97\pm0.24\pm0.07, consistent with the molecular model of Ω(2012)\Omega(2012)^-, which predicts comparable rates for Ω(2012)\Omega(2012)^- decay to Ξ(1530)Kˉ\Xi(1530)\bar{K} and ΞKˉ\Xi\bar{K}.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

    Bar k-Visibility Graphs

    Let S be a set of horizontal line segments, or bars, in the plane. We say that G is a bar visibility graph, and S its bar visibility representation, if there exists a one-to-one correspondence between vertices of G and bars in S, such that there is an edge between two vertices in G if and only if there exists an unobstructed vertical line of sight between their corresponding bars. If bars are allowed to see through each other, the graphs representable in this way are precisely the interval graphs. We consider representations in which bars are allowed to see through at most k other bars. Since all bar visibility graphs are planar, we seek measurements of closeness to planarity for bar k-visibility graphs. We obtain an upper bound on the number of edges in a bar k-visibility graph. As a consequence, we obtain an upper bound of 12 on the chromatic number of bar 1-visibility graphs, and a tight upper bound of 8 on the size of the largest complete bar 1-visibility graph. We also consider the thickness of bar k-visibility graphs, obtaining an upper bound of 4 when k = 1, and a bound that is quadratic in k for k> 1

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Theoretical study of scalar meson a0(1710)a_0(1710) in the ηcKˉ0K+π\eta_c \to {\bar{K}}^0K^+\pi^- reaction

    We investigate the process ηcKˉ0K+π\eta_c \to {\bar{K}}^0K^+\pi^- by taking into account the SS-wave KKˉ{K^*\bar{K}^*} and ρω\rho\omega interactions within the unitary coupled-channel approach, where the scalar meson a0(1710)a_0(1710) is dynamically generated. In addition, the contributions from the intermediate resonances K0(1430)Kˉ0πK_0^*(1430)^{-}\to {\bar{K}}^0\pi^- and K0(1430)0K+πK_0^*(1430)^{0}\to K^+\pi^- are also considered. We find a significant dip structure around 1.8~GeV, associated to the a0(1710)a_0(1710), in the Kˉ0K+{{\bar{K}}^0K^+} invariant mass distribution, and the clear peaks of the K0(1430)K_0^*(1430) in the Kˉ0π{\bar{K}}^0\pi^- and K+πK^+\pi^- invariant mass distributions, consistent with the {\it BABAR} measurements. We further estimate the branching fractions B(ηcKˉ0K+π)=5.5×103\mathcal{B}(\eta_c \to \bar{K}^{*0}K^{\ast+}\pi^-)= 5.5\times10^{-3} and B(ηcωρ+π)=7.9×103\mathcal{B}(\eta_c \to \omega\rho^+\pi^-)= 7.9\times10^{-3}. Our predictions can be tested by the BESIII and BelleII experiments in the future.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure

    Molecular states of DDKˉ D^* D^* \bar{K}^* nature

    We study the interaction of two D D^* and a Kˉ\bar{K}^{*} by using the Fixed Center Approximation to the Faddeev equations to search for bound states of the three body system. Since the DD D^* D^* interaction is attractive and gives a bound state, and so is the case of the DKˉD^* \bar{K}^{*} interaction, where the JP=0+J^{P}=0^{+} bound state is identified with the X0(2900)X_0 (2900), the DDKˉ D^* D^* \bar{K}^{*} system leads to manifestly exotic bound states with ccsccs open quarks. We obtain bound states of isospin I=1/2I=1/2, negative parity and total spin J=0,1,2J=0,1,2. For J=0J=0 we obtain one state, and for J=1,2J=1,2 we obtain two states in each case. The binding energies range from 5656 MeV to 151151 MeV and the widths from 8080 MeV to 100100 MeV.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figures, 1 table, version published in Phys Rev
