Recent hints for lepton-universality violation in $b\to c\ell\nu$ and $b\to s\ell\ell$ transitions could imply the existence of lepton-flavour violating $b$ decays. The LHCb experiment is well suited for the search for these decays due to…
In recent years, exciting (indirect) hints for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) have been accumulated. In particular, semi-leptonic $B$ decays show deviations from the SM predictions, which, due to the ratios $R(K^{(*)})$ and…
We analyze $K\to \pi \nu\bar \nu$ rates in a model with a TeV-scale leptoquark addressing $B$-meson anomalies, based on the flavor non-universal 4321 gauge group featuring third-generation quark-lepton unification. We show that, together…
The collection of a few anomalies in semileptonic $B$-decays, especially in $b\rightarrow c \tau \bar{\nu}$, invites to speculate about the emergence of some striking new phenomena, perhaps interpretable in terms of a weakly broken $U(2)^n$…

Measurements of the ratio of $B \to K^* \mu \mu $ to $B \to K^* e e $ branching fractions, $R_{K^*}$, by the LHCb collaboration strengthen the hints from previous studies with pseudoscalar kaons, $R_K$, for the breakdown of lepton…
Recently, several new experimental results of the test of lepton flavor universality (LFU) in $B\to D^{(\ast)}$ semi-leptonic decays were announced: the first result of $R_{D}$ from the LHCb Run 1 data, the first results of $R_{D}$ and…
The $B$-physics experiments at LHCb, BaBar and Belle hint towards deviations from Lepton Flavor Universality in both the tree-level and loop-induced $B$ meson semileptonic decays. We propose a leptoquark model with light right-handed…
Flavor symmetries that explain masses and mixings of the standard model fermions dictate flavor patterns for the couplings of scalar and vector leptoquarks to the standard model fermions. A generic feature is that couplings to…
