Time dependent transformations in deformation quantization

We study the action of time dependent canonical and coordinate transformations in phase space quantum mechanics. We extend the covariant formulation of the theory by providing a formalism that is fully invariant under both standard and time dependent coordinate transformations. This result considerably enlarges the set of possible phase space representations of quantum mechanics and makes it possible to construct a causal representation for the distributional sector of Wigner quantum mechanics.Comment: 16 pages, to appear in the J.

Study of BBˉ∗B\bar{B}^* and B∗Bˉ∗B^*\bar{B}^* interactions in I=1I=1 and relationship to the Zb(10610)Z_b(10610), Zb(10650)Z_b(10650) states

We use the local hidden gauge approach in order to study the $B\bar{B}^*$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$ interactions for isospin I=1. We show that both interactions via one light meson exchange are not allowed by OZI rule and, for that reason, we calculate the contributions due to the exchange of two pions, interacting and noninteracting among themselves, and also due to the heavy vector mesons. Then, to compare all these contributions, we use the potential related to the heavy vector exchange as an effective potential corrected by a factor which takes into account the contribution of the others light mesons exchange. In order to look for poles, this effective potential is used as the kernel of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. As a result, for the $B\bar{B}^*$ interaction we find a loosely bound state with mass in the range $10587-10601$ MeV, very close to the experimental value of the $Z_b(10610)$ reported by Belle Collaboration. For the $B^*\bar{B}^*$ case, we find a cusp at $10650$ MeV for all spin $J=0,\,1,\,2$ cases.Comment: 23 pages, 20 figure

Y(4260) as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state

Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the Y(4260) state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around $\theta \approx (53.0\pm 0.5)^{0}$, we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the Y(4260). However, for the decay width we find the value \Ga_Y \approx (1.0\pm 0.2) MeV which is not compatible with the experimental value \Ga \approx (88\pm 23) MeV. Therefore, we conclude that, although we can explain the mass of the Y(4260), this state cannot be described as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state since, with this assumption, we can not explain its decay width.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
