We derive a theoretically allowed domain for the charge radius $\rho$ and curvature $c$ of the Isgur-Wise function describing the decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c l {\bar \nu_l}$. Our method uses crossing symmetry, dispersion relations and…

In this paper we consider the bilocal field approach for $QCD$. We obtain a bilocal effective meson action with a potential kernel given in relativistic covariant form. The corresponding Schwinger--Dyson and Bethe--Salpeter equations are…
We present a QCD sum rule calculation of the Isgur-Wise form-factor tau_1(v.v') and tau_2(v.v') for the semileptonic decays B->D_1(2420)l\bar\nu and B->D_2^*(2460)l\bar\nu in the framework of heavy quark effective theory. These two…
We reconsider the recent derivation by de Rafael and Taron of bounds on the slope of the Isgur-Wise function. We argue that one must be careful to include cuts starting below the heavy meson pair production threshold, arising from heavy…
We discuss how one can determine the average kinetic energy of the heavy quark inside heavy mesons from differential distributions in $B$ decays. A new, so-called third, sum rule for the $b\rightarrow c$ transition is derived in the small…

In the framework of heavy quark effective theory, the leading order Isgur-Wise form factors relevant to semileptonic decays of the ground state $\bar{b}s$ meson $B_{s}$ into orbitally excited $D$-wave $\bar{c}s$ mesons, including the newly…
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…
Large N_c relations among baryonic Isgur-Wise functions appearing at the order of 1/m_Q are analyzed. An application to \Omega_b \to \Omega_c weak decays is given.

We discuss constraints imposed on the zero-recoil curvature and higher derivatives of the Isgur-Wise function by a general quark model. These constraints are expressed as bounds for a given slope parameter, and compared with those based…

We have studied the weak decay constants and the Isgur-Wise form factor of the B and D mesons in the heavy quark limit, by employing a relativistic quark confinement model. It is an attempt to improve our previous work within the same line…
We derive a confining $ q \bar{q}$ Bethe--Salpeter equation starting from the same assumptions on the Wilson loop integral already adopted in the derivation of a semirelativistic heavy quark potential. We show that, by standard…
We study the transitions ${\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c\left({1 \over 2}^\pm \right)}$ in the Bakamjian-Thomas (BT) relativistic quark model formalism, which describes hadrons with a fixed number of constituents. In the heavy quark limit, the BT…
Wavefunctions of a relativistic heavy quark-light quark $(Q,q)$ system described by a Dirac hamiltonian are analyzed. By assuming that the confinement potential is a Lorentz scalar (S), the slope of the Isgur-Wise function is calculated at…
