The $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ tetraquark state: $Y(4260)$ or $Y(4660)$?
The mass of $P$-wave $cs$-scalar-diquark $\bar{c}\bar{s}$-scalar-antidiquark state is computed in the framework of QCD sum rules. The result $4.69\pm0.36{GeV}$ is in good agreement with the experimental value of Y(4660) but higher than Y(4260)'s, which supports the $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ configuration for Y(4660) while disfavors the interpretation of Y(4260) as the $P$-wave $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ state. In the same picture, the mass of $P$-wave $[bs][\bar{b}\bar{s}]$ is predicted to be $11.19\pm0.49 {GeV}$.

Heavy baryon spectroscopy in QCD
We perform a systematic study of the masses of charmed and bottom baryons in the framework of the QCD sum rule approach. Contributions of the operators up to dimension six are included in operator product expansion. The resulting heavy baryon masses from the calculations are well consistent with the experimental values, and predictions to the spectroscopy of the unobserved bottom baryons are also presented.

{Q anti-q}{anti-Q-(prime)q} molecular states
Masses for $\{Q\bar{q}\}\{\bar{Q}^{(')}q\}$ molecular states are systematically studied in QCD sum rules. The interpolating currents representing the related molecular states are proposed. Technically, contributions of the operators up to dimension six are included in operator product expansion (OPE). Mass spectra for molecular states with $\{Q\bar{q}\}\{\bar{Q}^{(')}q\}$ configurations are obtained.

$S$-wave $D^{(*)}N$ molecular states: $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$?
Theoretically, some works have proposed the hadronic resonances $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ to be $S$-wave $DN$ and $D^{*}N$ molecular candidates, respectively. In the framework of QCD sum rules, we investigate that whether $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could be explained as the $S$-wave $DN$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state with $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. Technically, contributions of operators up to dimension $12$ are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The final results are $3.64\pm0.33~\mbox{GeV}$ and $3.73\pm0.35~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $DN$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and the $S$-wave $D^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$, respectively. They are somewhat bigger than the experimental data of $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$, respectively. In view of that corresponding molecular currents are constructed from local operators of hadrons, the possibility of $\Sigma_c(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ as molecular states can not be arbitrarily excluded merely from these disagreements between molecular masses using local currents and experimental data. But then these results imply that $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ could not be compact states. This may suggest a limitation of the QCD sum rule using the local current to determine whether some state is a molecular state or not. As byproducts, masses for their bottom partners are predicted to be $6.97\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{1}{2}^{-}$ and $6.98\pm0.34~\mbox{GeV}$ for the $S$-wave $\bar{B}^{*}N$ state of $J^{P}=\frac{3}{2}^{-}$.

Improved QCD sum rule study of $Z_{c}(3900)$ as a $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular state
In the framework of QCD sum rules, we present an improved study of our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 80, 056004 (2009)], particularly on the $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state, to investigate the possibility that the newly observed ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ is a $S$-wave $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state. To ensure the quality of QCD sum rule analysis, contributions of up to dimension nine are calculated to test the convergence of operator product expansion (OPE). We find that the two-quark condensate $⟨\overline{q}q⟩$ is very large and makes the standard OPE convergence (i.e. the perturbative at least larger than each condensate contribution) happen at very large values of Borel parameters. By releasing the rigid OPE convergence criterion, one could find that the OPE convergence is still under control. We arrive at the numerical result $3.86\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.27\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}$ for $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$, which agrees with the mass of ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ and could support the explanation of ${Z}_{c}(3900)$ in terms of a $S$-wave $\overline{D}{D}^{*}$ molecular state.

Could Yb(10890) be the P-wave $ [bq][\bar{b}\bar{q}] $ tetraquark state?
Assuming Yb(10890) as a P-wave bq-scalar-diquark $ \bar{b}\bar{q} $-scalar-antidiquark tetraquark state, the mass of Yb(10890) is computed in the framework of QCD sum rule method. Technically, contributions of operators up to dimension six are included in the operator product expansion (OPE). The numerical result 10.88 ± 0.13 GeV for Yb(10890) agrees well with the experimental value, which favors the P-wave $ [bq][\bar{b}\bar{q}] $ tetraquark configuration for Yb(10890). In the same picture, the mass of Y (4360) is calculated and the result 4.32 ± 0.20 GeV is compatible with the experimental data, which supports Y (4360)’s P-wave $ [cq][\bar{c}\bar{q}] $ structure.

RN/CFT correspondence from thermodynamics
A bstractRecent studies suggest that in the Kerr/CFT correspondence, much universal information of the dual CFT, including the central charges and the temperatures, is fully encoded in the thermodynamics of the outer and inner horizons of the Kerr(-Newman) black holes. In this paper, we study holographic descriptions of Reissner-Nordström (RN) black holes in arbitrary dimensions by using the thermodynamics method.We refine the thermodynamics method proposed in [20] by imposing the “quantization” condition so that we can fix the ambiguity in determining the central charges of the dual CFT of RN black holes. Using the refined thermodynamics method, we find the holographic CFT duals for the RN black holes, and confirm these pictures by using conventional analysis of asymptotic symmetry group and the hidden conformal symmetry in the low-frequency scattering. In particular, we revisit the four-dimensional dyonic RN black hole and find a novel magnetic picture, besides the known electric CFT dual picture. We show how to generate a class of dual dyonic pictures by SL(2, Z) transformations.

Pressure-induced cubic to monoclinic phase transformation in erbium sesquioxide Er(2)O(3).
Cubic Er(2)O(3) was compressed in a symmetric diamond anvil cell at room temperature and studied in situ using energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction. A transition to a monoclinic phase began at 9.9 GPa and was complete at 16.3 GPa and was accompanied by a approximately 9% volume decrease. The monoclinic phase was stable up to at least 30 GPa and could be quenched to ambient conditions. The normalized lattice parameter compression data for both phases were fit to linear equations, and the volume compression data were fit to third-order Birch-Murnaghan equations of state. The zero-pressure isothermal bulk moduli (B(0)) and the first-pressure derivatives (B(0)') for the cubic and monoclinic phases were 200(6) GPa and 8.4 and also 202(2) GPa and 1.0, respectively. Ab initio density functional theory calculations were performed to determine optimized lattice parameters and atom positions for the cubic, monoclinic, and hexagonal phases of Er(2)O(3). The calculated X-ray spectra and predicted transition pressure are in good qualitative agreement with the experimental results.

Study of pentaquarks on the lattice with overlap fermions
We present a quenched lattice QCD calculation of spin-$1/2$ five-quark states with $uudd\overline{s}$ quark content for both positive and negative parities. We do not observe any bound pentaquark state in these channels for either $I=0$ or $I=1$. The states we found are consistent with $KN$ scattering states which are checked to exhibit the expected volume dependence of the spectral weight. The results are based on overlap-fermion propagators on two lattices, ${12}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}28$ and ${16}^{3}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}28$, with the same lattice spacing of 0.2 fm, and pion mass as low as $\ensuremath{\sim}180\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{M}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}$.

On the Yang–Mills two-loop effective action with worldline methods
Abstract We derive the two-loop effective action for covariantly constant field strength of pure Yang–Mills theory in the presence of an infrared scale. The computation is done in the framework of the worldline formalism, based on a generalization procedure of constructing multiloop effective actions in terms of the bosonic worldline path integral. The two-loop β -function is correctly reproduced. This is the first derivation in the worldline formulation, and serves as a non-trivial check on the consistency of the multiloop generalization procedure in the worldline formalism.
