We explicitly check quark-hadron duality to order $(m_b-m_c)\Lambda/m_b^2$ for $b \to c l\nu$ decays in the limit $m_b-m_c \ll m_b$ including ground state and orbitally excited hadrons. Duality occurs thanks to a new sum rule which…
We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, $f_2/f_1$, and $g_1/f_1$, within a general framework of a chiral soliton model. All relevant parameters for the SU(3) baryon wave functions were unambiguously determined by using the…
We investigate the semileptonic hyperon decays within the framework of the self-consistent SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model ($\chi$QSM). We take linear $1/N_c$ rotational as well as linear $m_s$ corrections into account and apply the…

Semileptonic B decays are described by the Isgur-Wise form factor to the leading order in 1/m; four new functions appear in the first order [Luke]. Values of these functions are crucial for the applicability of the whole approach to…

We underline a problem existing in the heavy quark limit of QCD concerning the rates of semileptonic B decays into P-wave $D_J(j)$ mesons, where $j = {1 \over 2}$ (wide states) or $j = {3 \over 2}$ (narrow states). The leading order sum…
