Probabilities in nonorthogonal basis: Four--quark systems

Four-quark states may exist as colorless meson-meson molecules or compact systems with two-body colored components. We derive an analytical procedure to expand an arbitrary four--quark wave function in terms of nonorthogonal color singlet--singlet vectors. Using this expansion we develop the necessary formalism to evaluate the probability of physical components with an arbitrary four-quark wave function. Its application to characterize bound and unbound four--quark states as meson-meson, molecular or compact systems is discussed
