We calculate the $B \to D^{(*)} \ell \nu$ form factors in 2+1 flavor relativistic lattice QCD by employing the M\"obius domain-wall action for all quark flavors. Our simulations are carried out at lattice cut-offs $a^{-1} \sim 2.5$, 3.6 and…

The form factors relevant to $B_{q}\to D^{\ast}_{q}(J^{P}=1^{-}) ell\nu$ $(q=s, d, u)$ decays are calculated in the framework of the three point QCD sum rules approach. The heavy quark effective theory prediction of the form factors as well…

In this paper, we studied the semileptonic decays $B \to D^{(*)} l^- \bar{\nu}_l$ by using the "pQCD+Lattice QCD" method. We made the extrapolation for the six relevant form factors by using the input values obtained from the pQCD…

We discuss the computation of form factors for semi-leptonic decays of $\rm B$-, $\rm B_s$- mesons in lattice QCD. Considering in particular the example of the static $\rm B_s$ form factors we demonstrate that after non-perturbative…

We present updates for our nonperturbative lattice QCD calculations to determine semileptonic form factors for exclusive $B\to \pi\ell\nu$, $B\to D \ell\nu$, $B_s\to K\ell \nu$, and $B_s\to D_s\ell\nu$ decays. Our calculation is based on…

The measured $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)} l \bar\nu$ decay rates for light leptons ($l=e,\mu$) constrain all $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ semileptonic form factors, by including both the leading and ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}/m_{c,b})$ subleading…

Semileptonic $B_s \to K \ell \nu$ decays provide an alternative $b$-decay channel to determine the CKM matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, and to obtain a $R$-ratio to investigate lepton-flavor-universality violations. Results for the CKM matrix…

The $b \to c$ semileptonic sum rules provide relations between the decay rates of $B \to D^{(*)} \tau\bar\nu$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c \tau\bar\nu$. Starting from the heavy quark and zero-recoil limits, we revisit the derivation of the…

We calculate form-factor ratios between the semileptonic decays \bar{B}->D^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} and \bar{B}_s->D_s^+\ell^-\bar{\nu} with lattice QCD. These ratios are a key theoretical input in a new strategy to determine the fragmentation…
