Abstract
Within the QCD sum-rule framework, we investigate hidden-heavy tetraquark channels with the exotic quantum number J PC = 0 − − using four representative local color-octet–octet interpolating currents. The currents include both vector-axialvector and scalar-pseudoscalar Dirac structures. The operator product expansion is carried out up to dimension-eight condensates. The four diagonal sum rules yield mutually consistent mass estimates in the range 10.8–11.1 GeV for the hidden-bottom sector and around 4.3–4.6 GeV for the corresponding hidden-charm sector, with the bottom sector exhibiting the clearest Borel stability. Since local tetraquark currents with the same quantum numbers are related by Fierz rearrangements, the current-dependent results do not by themselves imply four distinct states or uniquely defined internal color structures. We also discuss quantum-number-allowed decay channels and emphasize the absence of the lowest pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar heavy-meson modes for a neutral 0 − − state. The results provide theoretical guidance for future experimental searches at Belle II, LHCb, and BESIII.
