We investigate isoscalar axial-vector mesons using a coupled-channel formalism. The kernel amplitudes are constructed from meson-exchange diagrams in the t and u channels, which are derived from effective Lagrangians based on hidden local symmetry. We incorporate six channels: πρ, ηω, KK¯*, ηϕ, η′ω, and η′ϕ, and solve the off-shell coupled integral equations. We first discuss the dynamical generation of the h1(1170). The pole diagram for h1(1595) has a certain effect on the generation of h1(1170). We observe two poles at (1387−i6) MeV and (1452−i51) MeV, which exhibit a two-pole structure of the h1(1415) meson. This two-pole structure may resolve the discrepancy in the experimental data on the mass of h1(1415). The results show that the lower pole couples strongly to the KK¯* channel, while the higher pole couples predominantly to the ηϕ channel. This provides insights into the nature of h1 mesons and explains possible discrepancies in the mass of h1(1415). Published by the American Physical Society 2024
