| contents | We present a comprehensive study of anti-triplet charmed baryon decays into octet baryons and pseudoscalar mesons using the $SU(3)_F$ flavor symmetry framework. By decomposing the flavor structure, all decay amplitudes are parametrized with a minimal set of irreducible amplitudes, and the Körner-Pati-Woo theorem further reduces the number of independent parameters from the original 35 to 19 under exact symmetry when small terms proportional to $λ_b = V_{cb}^*V_{ub}$ are neglected. The independent number becomes 27 with leading $SU(3)_F$ breaking effects. A global fit to 51 experimental measurements yields a $χ^2$/d.o.f. of 2.36 and provides precise values for the decay amplitudes. Notable discrepancies are observed in the fitted branching fractions of $Ξ_c^0 \to Ξ^- π^+$ and $Ξ_c^+ \to Ξ^- π^+ π^+$, which exceed current measurements by more than $2σ$. Incorporating final-state rescattering effects to recover the main effects of terms proportional to $λ_b$, we predict enhanced CP violation, with $A_{CP}$ reaching up to $10^{-3}$ in golden channels such as $Ξ_c^0 \to p K^-$ and $Ξ_c^0 \to Σ^+ π^-$. Our analysis also finds that the branching ratio for $Ξ_c^+ \to Λπ^+$ is enhanced to $(9.7 \pm 1.2) \times 10^{-4}$ due to significant cancellations. |
