We study the two-meson virtual cloud contribution to the self-energy of theSU(3) antidecuplet, to which the Theta+ pentaquark is assumed to belong. Thisis motivated by the large branching ratio of the N(1710) decay into two pionsand one nucleon. We derive effective Lagrangians that describe the N(1710)decay into N-pi-pi with two pions in s or p wave. We obtain increased bindingfor all members of the antidecuplet and a contribution to the mass splittingbetween states with different strangeness which is at least 20 % of theempirical one. We also provide predictions for three-body decays of thepentaquark antidecuplet.Comment: 13 pages, To appear in Phys. Rev.
