We prove descent theorems for semiorthogonal decompositions using techniques from derived algebraic geometry. Our methods allow us to capture more general filtrations of derived categories and even marked filtrations, where one descends not…
Variational perturbation theory is used to determine the decay rates of metastable states across a cubic barrier of arbitrary height. For high barriers, a variational resummation procedure is applied to the complex energy eigenvalues…
It has been recently argued that some longstanding problems in semileptonic B decays can be solved provided the branching ratio for the $B\to D^{\prime(\ast)}$ semileptonic decays are large enough. We have studied these decays in a…
There are two main ways of looking for new physics, direct searches and precision measurements. The latter are sensitive to a broader spectrum of models; they also can be sensitive to higher energy scales than what can be reached through…
Deconvolution is a fundamental inverse problem in signal processing and the prototypical model for recovering a signal from its noisy measurement. Nevertheless, the majority of model-based inversion techniques require knowledge on the…
We calculate the so-called hard spectator corrections in ${\cal O} (\alpha_s)$ in the leading-twist approximation to the decay widths for $B \to K^{*} \gamma$ and $B \to \rho \gamma$ decays and their charge conjugates, using the Large…
We calculate the branching ratios for B_{d}^{0}->(b_{1},h_{1})gamma at next-to-leading order (NLO) of alpha_{s} where b_{1} and h_{1} are the corresponding radially excited axial vector mesons of rho and omega respectively. Using the…

Semileptonic decays of charged and neutral $B$ mesons play a critical role in the determination of the magnitudes of the CKM-matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$, and in the test of the lepton universality which is a basic assumption of…

We studied the nonleptonic $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $BP$, $BV$ decay with the QCD factorization approach. It is found that the Cabibbo favored processes of $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $B_{s}{\pi}$, $B_{s}{\rho}$, $B_{u}\bar{K}$ are the promising decay channels…

In this paper, we propose a general approach for describing hadronic B decays. Using this method, all amplitudes for such decays can be expressed in terms of contractions, though the matrix elements are not evaluated. Many years ago, Buras…

Although the two-body charmed decays $B_{(s)} \to \bar D_{(s)}^{(*)}P$ and $\bar D_{(s)}^{(*)}V$, where $P$($V$) denotes a light pseudoscalar(vector) meson, are CKM suppressed comparing with the $B_{(s)} \to D_{(s)}^{(*)}P$ and $…

The decay mode $B_s\to\psi \overline{K}^*$ is suggested as a very good way to measure the $B_s$ mixing parameter $x_s$. These decays can be gathered using a $\psi\to\ell^+\ell^-$ trigger. This final state has a well resolved four track…
