Study of isospin eigenstates of the pentaquark molecular states with strangeness

Abstract

In the paper, we construct eight color singlet-singlet type five-quark currents with distinguished isospins to study the $\bar{D}{\Xi }^{\prime }$, $\bar{D}{\Xi }_c^{\ast }$, ${\bar{D}}^{\ast }{\Xi }_c^{\prime }$ and ${\bar{D}}^{\ast }{\Xi }_c^{\ast }$ molecular states with strangeness via the QCD sum rules. Numerical results show that the central values of the pentaquark masses with higher (lower) isospin are slightly above (below) the thresholds of the corresponding meson-baryon pairs, and support assigning the $P_{cs}(4459)$ as the $\bar{D}{\Xi }_c^{\ast }$ molecular state with the quantum numbers $I{J}^P=0{\frac{3}{2}}^{-}$. The other predictions can be confronted to the experimental data in the future.
