The f[sub 0](1370), f[sub 0](1710), f[sub 2](1270), f[sub 2][sup ʹ](1525), and K[sub 2][sup ∗](1430) as dynamically generated states from vector meson-vector meson interaction

We report on some recent developments in understanding the nature of the low-lying mesonic resonances f{sub 0}(1370), f{sub 0}(1710), f{sub 2}(1270), f{sub 2}{sup '}(1525), and K{sub 2}*(1430). In particular we show that these five resonances can be dynamically generated from vector meson-vector meson interaction in a coupled-channel unitary approach, which utilizes the phenomenologically very successful hidden-gauge Lagrangians to produce the interaction kernel between two vector mesons, which is then unitarized by the Bethe-Salpeter-equation method. The data on the strong decay branching ratios, total decay widths, and radiative decay widths of these five states, and on related J/{psi} decay processes can all be well described by such an approach. We also make predictions, compare them with the results of earlier studies, and highlight observables that if measured can be used to distinguish different pictures of these resonances.
