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 derive a theoretically allowed domain for the slope $\widehat\varrho^2$ and curvature $\widehat c$ of the physical form factor appearing in the decay $\bar B\to D^*\ell\bar\nu$. Using heavy-quark symmetry, we relate this function to a…
We investigate the subleading-power corrections to the exclusive $B\to D \ell \nu_\ell$ form factors at ${\cal O} (\alpha_s^0)$ in the light-cone sum rules (LCSR) framework by including the two- and three-particle higher-twist contributions…
We examine the B -> D* form factor at zero recoil using a continuum QCD approach rooted in the heavy quark sum rules framework. A refined evaluation of the radiative corrections as well as the most recent estimates of higher order power…
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…
We present the complete O(alpha_s^2) corrections to the Wilson coefficient of the unit operator in the zero-recoil sum rule for the B-->D* transition. We include both perturbative and power-suppressed nonperturbative effects in a manner…
We construct light-cone sum rules (LCSR) for the $B\to K^*$ form factors in the large recoil region using vacuum-to-$B$-meson correlation functions, and systematically calculate subleading-power corrections to these form factors at tree…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…
We explicitly check quark-hadron duality to order $(m_b-m_c)\Lambda/m_b^2$ for $b \to c l\nu$ decays in the limit $m_b-m_c \ll m_b$ including ground state and orbitally excited hadrons. Duality occurs thanks to a new sum rule which…
We compute the normalization of the form factor entering the Bs --> Ds l nu decay amplitude by using numerical simulations of QCD on the lattice. From our study with Nf=2 dynamical light quarks, and by employing the maximally twisted Wilson…
We carry out an analysis of the full set of ten $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)}$ form factors within the framework of the Heavy-Quark Expansion (HQE) to order $\mathcal{O}(\alpha_s,\,1/m_b,\,1/m_c^2)$, both with and without the use of experimental…
I discuss the theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of $|\,V_{cb}|$ from a measurement of the $\bar B\to D^*\ell\,\bar\nu$ decay rate close to zero recoil. In particular, I combine previous estimates of the $1/m_Q^2$ corrections to…
We utilize inclusive sum rules to construct both upper and lower bounds on the form factors for B to D, D*, rho, pi, omega, K and K* semi-leptonic and radiative decays. We include the leading nonperturbative 1/E corrections and point out…
We underline a problem existing in the heavy quark limit of QCD concerning the rates of semileptonic B decays into P-wave $D_J(j)$ mesons, where $j = {1 \over 2}$ (wide states) or $j = {3 \over 2}$ (narrow states). The leading order sum…
The form factors of the semileptonic $B_{q}\to D_{q}(J^{P}=0^{-})\ell\nu$ with $q=s, u, d$ transitions are calculated in the framework of three point QCD sum rules. Using the $q^2$ dependencies of the relevant form factors, the total decay…
We derive new QCD sum rules for $B\to D$ and $B\to D^*$ form factors. The underlying correlation functions are expanded near the light-cone in terms of $B$-meson distribution amplitudes defined in HQET, whereas the $c$-quark mass is kept…
The form factors of the semileptonic $B\to \pi\pi\ell\bar\nu$ decay are calculated from QCD light-cone sum rules with the distribution amplitudes of dipion states. This method is valid in the kinematical region, where the hadronic dipion…
We present the first analytic ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$-computation at twist-$1$,$2$ of the $\bar B_{u,d,s} \to \gamma$ form factors within the framework of sum rules on the light-cone. These form factors describe the charged decay $\bar B_u \to…
Two new sum rules were recently discovered by Le Yaouanc et al. by applying the operator product expansion to the nonforward matrix element of a time-ordered product of $b \to c$ currents in the heavy-quark limit of QCD. They lead to the…
We present an improved calculation of $B\to$ light vector form factors from light-cone sum rules, including one-loop radiative corrections to twist-2 and twist-3 contributions, and leading order twist-4 corrections. The total theoretical…
