Using previously formulated sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD, we demonstrate that if the slope rho^2 = -xi'(1) of the Isgur-Wise function xi(w) attains its lower bound 3/4, then all the derivatives (-1)^L xi^(L)(1) attain their…

Using the OPE, we formulate new sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD. These sum rules imply that the elastic Isgur-Wise function $\xi (w)$ is an alternate series in powers of $(w-1)$. Moreover, one gets that the $n$-th derivative of…

Considering nonforward scattering amplitude off the heavy quark in the Small Velocity limit two exact superconvergent sum rules are derived. The first sum rule leads to the lower bound \rho^2 > 3/4 for the slope of the Isgur-Wise function.…

We consider the Isgur-Wise function xi(omega) within a new modified version of a heavy-light chiral quark model. While early versions of such models gave too small absolute value of the slope, namely xi'(1) of about -0.4 to -0.3, we show…

We pursue the group theoretical method to study Isgur-Wise functions. We apply the general formalism, formerly applied to the baryon case j^P = 0^+ (for \Lambda_b -> \Lambda_c \ell \nu), to mesons with j^P = 1/2^-, i.e. $\overline{B} ->…
