We derive a set of sum rules for the light-by-light scattering and fusion: $\gamma\gamma \to all$, and verify them in lowest order QED calculations. A prominent implication of these sum rules is the superconvergence of the…

A precise determination of |V_{ub}| can be obtained exploiting the sum rule for inclusive charmless semileptonic B-meson decays. The sum rule is derived on the basis of light-cone expansion and b-flavored quantum number conservation. The…
The hadronic invariant mass spectrum for the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay $B\to X_u e \bar\nu_e$ is studied. Particular attention is paid to the region $s_H<m_D^2$, which may be useful for extracting the value of $|V_{ub}|$. The…
