abstract

The decays $B \to PP$, where $P$ denotes a pseudoscalar meson, are analyzed, with emphasis on charmless final states. Numerous triangle relations for amplitudes hold within SU(3) symmetry, relating (for example) the decays $B^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^0,~ \pi^0 K^+$, and $\pi^+ K^0$. Such relations can improve the possibilities for early detection of $CP$-violating asymmetries. Within the context of a graphical analysis of decays, relations are analyzed among SU(3) amplitudes which hold if some graphs are neglected. One application is that measurements of the rates for the above three $B^+$ decays and their charge-conjugates can be used to determine a weak CKM phase. With measurements of the remaining rates for $B$ decays to $\pi \pi,~\pi K$, and $K \bar K$, one can obtain two CKM phases and several differences of strong phase shifts.

  1. Isospin-based EWP-tree Relations

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Under isospin alone, electroweak-penguin diagrams in B→πK decays are proportional to tree diagrams with roles swapped relative to SU(3)_F, yielding an exact CP-asymmetry sum rule and a 4-5σ B→πK discrepancy with the S...

  2. Hilbert Series of Pseudoscalar Mesons: Operators and Sum Rules

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Hilbert series construction yields the complete four-meson, two-derivative operator basis with CKM spurions, from which all leading-order B to pseudoscalar decay sum rules follow as null vectors.

  3. Anomalies in Hadronic $B \to VV$ Decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Charmless B→VV decays under SU(3)_F show 5.2σ tension for ρ,K* modes and >7σ when ϕ and ω are included, while isospin-only ρK* fits remain acceptable.

  4. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

  5. Flavor SU(3) analysis of the charmless semileptonic $B \to PV\ell^+\nu_\ell$ decays

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper predicts branching ratios of charmless B to PV l nu decays mediated by axial-vector, tensor, and excited vector resonances using SU(3) flavor symmetry, finding several modes at 10^-4 to 10^-3.

  6. Flavor Violations in $B$-Mesons within Non-Minimal SU(5)

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A non-minimal SU(5) model with R2 leptoquark and S6 diquark is fitted to B-decay anomalies in b→cτν, B→Kπ, and B→Kνν, but the benchmark B→Kνν rate rises only about 3.5% above the Standard Model.

  7. Studying the tensor resonance contributions in $B \to PP\ell^+\ell^-$ and $B \to PV\ell^+\ell^-$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Tensor-resonance contributions to B → PPℓ⁺ℓ⁻ and B → PVℓ⁺ℓ⁻ are small compared with measured totals once SU(3)-related B → Tℓ⁺ℓ⁻ rates are fixed to Bs → f′₂(1525)μ⁺μ⁻.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    The authors argue that ETRs follow automatically from SU(3) group theory and identify weaknesses in a recent QCD-factorization fit that omitted them.
