In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its holographic mapping to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and conformal quantum mechanics. This approach provides new insights…
We search for the radiative decays $D^{+} \to \gamma \rho^+$ and $D^{+} \to \gamma K^{*+}$ using 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV by the BESIII detector operating at…
Rare semileptonic $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$ transitions provide some of the most promising frameworks to search for new physics effects. Recent analyses of these decays have indicated an anomalous behaviour in measurements of angular…
The $\bar{B}_s^0 \to D_s^{(*)+} l^- \bar{\nu}_l$ semileptonic decays were calculated in the framework of the standard model (SM) by employing the perturbative QCD (pQCD) factorization approach. We defined four ratios of the branching ratios…
A field theoretic description for inclusive semileptonic B meson decays is formulated. We argue that large regions of the phase spaces for the decays are dominated by distances near the light cone. The light-cone dominance allows to…
Holographic models of QCD provide the spectrum of heavy vector meson masses and electromagnetic decay constants through bulk computations of the current-current correlation function. Conversely, the phenomenology of heavy vector mesons is…

Motivated by the experimental measurements of $D^0$ radiative decay modes we have proposed a model to study the $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}\gamma$ decay, by establishing a link with $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}V$ $(V=\rho^0,\, \omega)$ decays through the…
We briefly discuss the predictions of the heavy quark effective theory for the semileptonic decays of a heavy pseudoscalar to a light one, or to a light vector meson. We point out that measurement of combinations of differential helicity…
Within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we study the charmless two-body decays $B\to a_1(1260)K^*, b_1(1235)K^*$. Using the decays constants and the light-cone distribution amplitudes for these mesons derived from the QCD sum…
In this work, we investigate the semileptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ meson to $D_{0}^{\ast}(2300)$, $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, $D_{s1}(2536)$, $D_{1}(2420)$ and $D_{1}(2430)$ in the covariant light-front quark model (CLFQM). We…
We study the rare radiative dileptonic decays $B^0(B_s)\to \gamma\ell^+\ell^-$ ($\ell=e,\mu$) in the standard model. By using the $B$ meson wave function constrained by non-leptonic decays, the branching ratios turn out to be of the order…
We generalize the $T\overline{T}$ deformation of CFT$_2$ to higher-dimensional large-$N$ CFTs, and show that in holographic theories, the resulting effective field theory matches semiclassical gravity in AdS with a finite radial cutoff. We…
The photoleptonic decay $B^-\to \gamma \ell^-\bar{\nu}$ is the simplest low-energy process that probes the substructure of the $B$ meson, making it an excellent candidate to determine the parameters of $B$-meson light-cone distribution…
Long-distance QCD effects in $B_{d,s}\to\ell^+\ell^-\gamma$ decays are analyzed. We show that the contribution of the light vector-meson resonances related to the virtual photon emission from valence quarks of the $B$-meson, which was not…
Employing the QCD factorization formalism we compute $B_{u}^{-} \to \gamma^{\ast} \, \ell \, \bar \nu_{\ell}$ form factors with an off-shell photon state possessing the virtuality of order $m_b \, \Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ and $m_b^2$,…
To the leading order, the radiative leptonic decays $B_c \to \gamma \ell \bar \nu$ ($ \ell=e, \mu$) are studied carefully. In the study, a non-relativistic constituent quark model and the effective Lagrangian for the heavy flavour decays…
The point-form version of the Bakamjian-Thomas construction is applied to the description of several semileptonic decays of mesons. Weak form factors are extracted without ambiguity for pseudoscalar-to-pseudoscalar as well as for…
We rederive AdS/CFT predictions for infrared two-point functions by an entirely four dimensional approach, without reference to holography. This approach, originally due to Migdal in the context of QCD, utilizes an extrapolation from the…
We provide hadronic input for the $B$-meson semileptonic transitions to a light pseudoscalar meson at large recoil. The $B_s\to K$ form factor calculated from QCD light-cone sum rule is updated, to be used for a $|V_{ub}|$ determination…
