Abstract :
[en] We study the stability of the pentaquarks $uudd\overline{Q}$,
$uuds\overline{Q}$ and $udss\overline{Q}$ ($Q = c$ or $b$) of positive parity
in a constituent quark model based on Goldstone boson exchange interaction
between quarks. The pentaquark parity is the antiquark parity times that of a
quark excited to a p-shell. We show that the Goldstone boson exchange
interaction favors these pentaquarks much more than the negative parity ones of
the same flavour content but all quarks in the ground state. We find that the
nonstrange pentaquarks are stable against strong decays.
