abstract
We study the multiquark hadrons in large $N$ QCD under the 't-Hooft limit, extending Witten's picture of the baryons. We explore the decay widths of tetraquarks, pentaquarks and dibaryons. Based on the decay behaviors, we point out in the $N\to \infty$ limit decay widths of tetraquarks stay constant, while those of pentaquarks and dibaryons above certain thresholds can diverge. In the large $N$ limit, we find that the ground states of the three spectroscopic series are stable or narrow and that the excited states of pentaquarks and dibaryons above the indicated thresholds are not observables. We compare our results with those obtained in a different large $N$ generalization of tetraquarks.
