Abstract

Heavy quark symmetry relations for BDeν¯e and BD*eν¯e form factors receive corrections suppressed by powers of the charm quark mass. For small up and down quark masses the leading corrections of order (1mc)n+2, n=0, 1, 2, , have a nonanalytic dependence on the light quark masses of the form lnmπ2 for n=0 and (1mπ)n for n=1, 2, . These corrections arise from very low momentum physics (i.e., well below the chiral-symmetry-breaking scale) and are computed using chiral perturbation theory. They are typically of the order of a few percent.
