Description
In the hadron spectroscopy in the heavy quark region,
new symmetry plays an important role.
The symmetry is the heavy quark spin symmetry.
It manifests the mass degeneracy of the
states with different total spin, e.g. the mass degeneracy of the heavy
pseudoscalar and vector mesons.
It is important to generate the exotic hadron structures found in the heavy
quark region.
The mass degeneracy enhances the mixing of $D$ ($J^P=0^-$) and $D^\ast$
($J^P=1^-$) mesons.
Therefore the pion coupling $\pi DD^\ast$ is introduced,
while the coupling $\pi DD$ is forbidden.
It is known that the one pion exchange potential (OPEP)
is important for the binding of atomic nuclei.
The attraction of the OPEP motivates us to investigate
new meson-nucleus systems in the heavy quark region.
In this talk, we study
bound and resonant states of hadronic molecules of a heavy meson and
a nucleon.
In addition, the mass degeneracy can appear in not only the ordinary
hadrons but also hadronic molecules.
It indicates the existence of partner states of the heavy quark symmetry.
We also discuss the properties of the hadronic molecules in the heavy
quark limit.
