Heavy hadron spectroscopy: A quark model perspective
Abstract We present recent results of hadron spectroscopy and hadron–hadron interaction from the perspective of constituent quark models. We pay special attention to the role played by higher order Fock space components in the hadron spectra and the connection of this extension with the hadron–hadron interaction. The main goal of our description is to obtain a coherent understanding of the low-energy hadron phenomenology without enforcing any particular model, to constrain its characteristics and learn about low-energy realization of the theory.

Double Charmed and Charmless Four-Quark States
We present a systematic and self-consistent analysis of four-quark charmonium states and applied it to study compact four-quark systems and meson-meson molecules. Our results are robust and should serve to clarify the situation of charmonium spectroscopy above the threshold production of charmed mesons.

The $N\Lambda \Lambda -\Xi NN$ bound state problem
We use a diagrammatic method to derive the Faddeev equations of the coupled NΛΛ–ΞNN system and apply them to the bound-state problem of the channel. We use as input the nucleon–nucleon, nucleon–hyperon and hyperon–hyperon interactions obtained from a chiral constituent quark model. We explore different parametrizations of the quark–quark interacting potential. While the system alone is unbound, the full coupled channel problem NΛΛ–ΞNN may present a three-baryon bound state just below threshold. Different from double- hypernuclei with four nucleons or more, where the Pauli principle acts strongly because there is no room for more that four nucleons in S wave, in H the full interaction can act in S wave.

ON THE MOTION OF A TEST PARTICLE AROUND A GLOBAL MONOPOLE IN A MODIFIED GRAVITY
In this paper we suggest an approach to analyze the motion of a test particle in the spacetime of a global monopole within a f(R)-like modified gravity. The field equations are written in a simplified form in terms of . Since we are dealing with a spherically symmetric metric, we express F(R) as a function of the radial coordinate only, e.g., . So, the choice of a specific form for f(R) will be equivalent to adopt an Ansatz for . By choosing an explicit functional form for , we obtain the weak field solutions for the metric tensor also compute the time-like geodesics and analyze the motion of a massive test particle. An interesting feature is an emerging attractive force exerted by the monopole on the particle.

Spherically symmetric vacuum solutions of modified gravity theory in higher dimensions
AbstractIn this paper we investigate spherically symmetric vacuum solutions of f(R) gravity in a higher-dimensional spacetime. With this objective we construct a system of non-linear differential equations whose solutions depend on the explicit form assumed for the function 
$F(R)=\frac{df(R)}{dR}$
. We explicit show that for specific classes of this function exact solutions from the field equations are obtained; also we find approximated results for the metric tensor for more general cases admitting F(R) close to the unity.
