We comment on two recent calculations of the second order perturbative corrections in the heavy flavor semileptonic transitions within the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie approach. It is pointed out that the results do not show significant…

The general structure of the $1/m$ corrections at zero recoil is studied. The relevant matrix elements are forward matrix elements of local higher dimensional operators and their time ordered products with higher order terms from the…

Perturbative corrections to b->c transitions at zero recoil are considered in the two-step matching scheme. The matching coefficient for the b->c currents from the intermediate effective theory (between the scales m_b and m_c) to the…

Complete two-loop QCD corrections to $b\to c$ transitions are presented in the limit of zero recoil. Vector and axial-vector coefficients $\eta_{A,V}$ are calculated analytically in the limit of equal beauty and charm masses, and a series…

Analytic formulae are presented for the two-loop perturbative QCD corrections to b -> c decay at the zero recoil point, which are required for the extraction of |V_bc| from measurements of exclusive B -> D* l nu decays. The results are in…

Comparing the result of inserting a complete set of physical states in a time ordered product of $b$ decay currents with the operator product expansion gives a class of zero recoil sum rules. They sum over physical states with excitation…

We calculate the perturbative corrections to order \alpha_s^2\beta_0 to the sum rule derived from the second moment of the time-ordered product of b \to c currents near zero recoil. This sum rule yields a bound on \lambda_1, the expectation…

Heavy quark symmetry predicts the value of $B \rightarrow D$ and $B \rightarrow D^*$ transition matrix elements of the current $\bar c \gamma_\mu (1 - \gamma_5)b$, at zero recoil (where in the rest frame of the $B$ the $D$ or $D^*$ is also…

We use rational approximants to study missing higher orders in the massless scalar-current quark correlator. We predict the yet unknown six-loop coefficient of its imaginary part, related to $\Gamma(H\to b \bar b)$, to be $c_5=-6900\pm…

We present analytical results for the $O(\alpha _s ^2)$ contributions to the functions $\eta _A$ and $\eta _V$ which parameterize QCD corrections to semileptonic $b \to c$ transitions at zero recoil. Previously obtained approximate results…

We calculate the one-loop QCD corrections for the decay of an off-shell vector boson with vector couplings into two pairs of quarks of equal or unequal flavours keeping all orders in the number of colours. These matrix elements are relevant…

The constraint of a progressive decrease in residual renormalization scale dependence with increasing loop order is developed as a method for obtaining bounds on unknown higher-order perturbative corrections to renormalization-group…

It is shown that large perturbative corrections found previously for semileptonic beauty and charm decays are associated with using inappropriate pole masses. The latter, in the perturbative expansion, suffer from the 1/m_Q infrared…

We have completed the calculation of pure-recoil corrections of order $(Z \alpha)^6$ to Coulombic bound states of two spin-1/2 fermions without approximation in the particle masses. Our result applies to systems of arbitrary mass ratio such…

We compute corrections of order $\alpha_s^3$ to the decay $b \to c \ell \bar\nu$ taking into account massive charm quarks. In the on-shell scheme large three-loop corrections are found. However, in the kinetic scheme the three-loop…

We compute next-to-next-to-leading order corrections to the decay width difference of mass eigenstates and the charge-parity (CP) asymmetry $a_{\rm fs}$ in flavour-specific decays of neutral $B$ mesons. We include both current-current and…

We compute the \alpha_s^2\beta_0 part of the two-loop QCD corrections to the charged lepton spectrum in b \to c \ell \bar\nu_\ell decays and find them to be about 50\% of the first order corrections at all lepton energies, except those…

Non-factorizable two loop corrections to heavy to light flavor changing neutral current transitions due to matrix elements of current-current operators are calculated analytically for arbitrary momentum transfer. This extends previous works…

The baryon axial vector current is computed at one-loop order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large-N_c limit, where N_c is the number of colors. Loop graphs with octet and decuplet intermediate states cancel to various…

We propose to resum exactly any number of one-loop vacuum polarization insertions into the scale of the coupling of lowest order radiative corrections. This makes maximal use of the information contained in one-loop perturbative corrections…
