Abstract
We demonstrate that the spectacular structures discovered recently in various experiments and named as , and states cannot be purely kinematic effects. Their existence necessarily calls for nearby poles in the matrix and they therefore qualify as states. We propose a way of distinguishing kinematic cusp effects from genuine -matrix poles: the kinematic threshold cusp cannot produce a narrow peak in the invariant mass distribution in the elastic channel in contrast with a genuine -matrix pole.
