In this formalism, the weak form factors appear naturally as the overlaps of the initial and final wavefunctions of the light degrees of freedom, and the Bjorken and Voloshin sum rules are statements of conservation of probability and energy. Moreover, parity conservation can lead to a sum rule which relates weak form factors at different kinematic points. {}From this sum rule, model independent lower bounds on Isgur--Wise form factors can be obtained analytically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1994-10-22T23:11:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy quark limit", "sum rule", "conservation laws", "model independent lower bounds", "weak form factors appear" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
