Abstract

By describing within the chiral unitary approach the s -wave interaction of the vector meson nonet with the octet of pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons, we find that the main component of the axial-vector mesons - b 1(1235) , h 1(1170) , h 1(1380) , a 1(1260) , f 1(1285) and the two states associated to the K 1(1270) - does not follow the QCD dependence on the number of colors for ordinary qq̄ mesons.
