The approximate symmetry of the strong interactions under isospin transformations is among the most precise tools available to control hadronic matrix elements. It is crucial in extracting fundamental parameters, but also provides avenues for the search of phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The precision of the resulting predictions requires special care when determining the quantities they are to be tested with. Specifically, in the extraction of branching ratios often isospin symmetry is assumed at one point or another implicitly, implying a significant bias for precision analyses. We extract a bias-free value for the production asymmetry between charged and neutral $B$ meson pairs at $B$ factories and discuss its consequences for the determination of branching fractions generally, and isospin-violating observables like the rate asymmetries in B -> J/psi K or B -> K* gamma decays specifically.

We review the two and three-body baryonic $B$ decays with the dibaryon (${bf Bbar B}$) as the final states. Accordingly, we summarize the experimental data of the branching fractions, angular asymmetries, and $CP$ asymmetries. In the approach of perturbative QCD counting rules, we study the three-body decay channels. Using the $W$-boson annihilation (exchange) mechanism, the branching fractions of $Bto {bf B bf bar B}$ are shown to be interpretable. In particular, we review the $CP$ asymmetries of $Bto {bf Bbar B}M$, which are promising to be measured by the LHCb and Belle II experiments.
This article summarizes recent developments in $Bto D^{(ast)}tau u$ decays. We explain how to extract the tau leptons production properties from the kinematics of its decay products. The focus is on hadronic tau decays, which are most sensitive to the tau polarizations. We present new results for effects of new physics in tau polarization observables and quantify the observation prospects at BELLE II.
Influence of the isospin-violating (rho^0, omega)-mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of rho^0, omega into the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP-violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation can manifest itself in various forms: direct violation in amplitudes and/or violation due to mixing. In addition to the known decays (rho^0, omega)topi^+pi^- and (rho^0, omega)topi^0gamma, the pair of decays to e^+e^- and the whole set of radiative decays with participation of rho^0, omega (in initial or final states) are shown to be also useful and perspective for studies. Existing data on these decays agree with the universal character of the mixing parameter and indirectly support enhancement of rho^0topi^0gamma in respect to rho^{pm}topi^{pm}gamma. Future precise measurements will allow to separate different forms of isospin violation and elucidate their mechanisms.
We discuss the possibility of observing a loosely bound molecular state in a B three-body hadronic decay. In particular we use the QCD sum rule approach to study a $eta^prime-pi$ molecular current. We consider an isovector-scalar $I^G J^{PC}= 1^-~0^{++}$ molecular current and we use the two-point and three-point functions to study the mass and decay width of such state. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension six and we work at leading order in $alpha_s$. We obtain a mass around 1.1 GeV, consistent with a loosely bound state, and a $eta^prime-pirightarrow K^+ K^-$ decay width around 10 MeV.
We assume that the quark-flavor coefficients matrix of the semileptonic operators addressing the neutral-current B-meson anomalies has rank-one, i.e. it can be described by a single vector in quark-flavor space. By correlating the observed anomalies to other flavor and high-$p_T$ observables, we constrain its possible directions and we show that a large region of the parameter space of this framework will be explored by flavor data from the NA62, KOTO, LHCb and Belle II experiments.
