Nature of the axial-vector mesons from their N-c behavior within the chiral unitary approach

By describing within the chiral unitary approach the g-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 q (q) over bar mesons.
