Quarks and antiquarks carry color and electric charges and belong to the color-triplet $3$ group and the color-antitriplet $\bar 3$ group respectively. The product groups of $3$ and $\bar 3$ consist of the color-singlet $1$ and the…
One can analyze the hadronic decay amplitudes for $B\to PP$ decays using flavor SU(3) symmetry in different ways, such as the algebraic and quark diagram approaches. We derive specific relations between these two sets of amplitudes. In the…
