Abstract
A chiral invariant Lagrangian describing the tetraquark-quarkonia interaction is considered at the leading and subleading order in the large-${N}_{c}$ expansion. Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking generates mixing of scalar tetraquark and quarkonia states and nonvanishing tetraquark condensates. In particular, the mixing strength is related to the decay strengths of tetraquark states into pseudoscalar mesons. The results show that scalar states below 1 GeV are mainly four-quark states and the scalars between 1 and 2 GeV quark-antiquark states, probably mixed with the scalar glueball in the isoscalar sector.

From controversy to precision on the sigma meson: a review on the status of the non-ordinary $f_0(500)$ resonance

TL;DR: The sigma meson has been controversial for almost six decades, despite playing a central role in the spontaneous chiral symmetry of QCD or in the nucleon-nucleon attraction as discussed by the authors.

Baryons as relativistic three-quark bound states

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum and electromagnetic properties of baryons described as relativistic three-quark bound states within QCD are discussed from a theoretical perspective, focusing on nonperturbative QCD as encoded in the functional approach via Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations.

Computation of the quantum effects due to a four-dimensional pseudoparticle

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed quantitative calculation is carried out of the tunneling process described by the Belavin-Polyakov-Schwarz-Tyupkin field configuration, where a certain chiral symmetry is violated as a consequence of the Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly.

Hadron Masses in a Gauge Theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the implications for hadron spectroscopy of the "standard" gauge model of weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions, and use the asymptotic freedom of the model to argue that for the calculation of hadron masses, the short-range quark-quark interaction may be Coulomblike.
