We present a theoretical study of a0(1710), the isovector partner of f0(1710), in the processThe weak interaction part proceeds through the charm quark decay process: c(s) → (s + d + u)(s), while the hadronization part takes place in two mechanisms, differing in how the quarks from the weak decay combines into πK * with a quark-antiquark pair q q with the vacuum quantum numbers. In addition to the contribution from the tree diagram of the K * + → π + K 0 S , we have also considered the K * K * final-state interactions within the chiral unitary approach to generate the intermediate state a0(1710), then it decays into the final states K 0 S K 0 S . We find that the recent experimental measurements on the K 0 S K 0 S and π + K 0 S invariant mass distributions can be well reproduced, and the proposed mechanism can provide valuable information on the nature of scalar f0(1710) and its isovector partner a0(1710) resonances.
