Highlights of Pentaquark Spectroscopy from Lattice Calculations Original Research Article

The present status of pentaquark spectroscopy in lattice QCD is reviewed. The current lattice simulations seem to give no indication of a pentaquark in the positive parity channel to be identified with the Θ+(1540). However, the negative parity channel can easily accommodate a pentaquark with a mass close to the experimental value. Remark that all present results should be regarded as exploratory.
