Abstract

Isospin and U-spin symmetries are useful approximations for studying penguin dominance in BB meson decays to three kaons, BKKKˉB\to KK\bar K. We point out certain subtleties in treating these decays in these approximations. Resulting uncertainties are discussed in determining the CP content of the final state in BK+KKSB \to K^+K^-K_S, and in relating the CP asymmetry in this process to the value of sin2β\sin 2\beta.
