Positive parity pentaquark towers in large Nc QCD

We construct the complete set of positive parity pentaquarks, which correspond in the quark model to s̄qNc+1 states with one unit of orbital angular momentum L=1. In the large Nc limit they fall into the K=1/2 and K=3/2 irreps (towers) of the contracted SU(4)c symmetry. We derive predictions for the...
