Abstract

The Fierz rearrangement, based on the various internal symmetries of hadrons, can be used to study their decay properties in a largely model-independent way. In this Letter we apply this method to calculate the relative branching ratios of two-gluon glueballs with $J^{PC} = 0^{++}/0^{-+}$ and three-gluon glueballs with $J^{PC} = 0^{++}/1^{+-}$. In total, we derive nearly one hundred ratios for these glueballs. Our results suggest that the $f_0(1710)$ and $η(2370)$ likely contain a significant gluon component, whereas the gluon component in $f_0(1500)$ appears to be small. Furthermore, we propose observing the three-gluon glueball with $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ in the $ππω$ and $K\bar{K}ϕ$ channels, and the three-gluon glueball with $J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$ in the $ππω$, $ππϕ$, and $K\bar{K}ϕ$ channels. This study enhances our understanding of the gluonic structure of exotic hadrons and will assist future experimental searches in high-energy physics.
