The characteristics and phenomenology of neutrino oscillation in extra dimensions are briefly reviewedComment: Plenary talk given at the International Conference on Flavor Physics, May 31-June 6, 2001, Zhang-Jia-Jie, China. More references provided in this new versio

\Lambda_b Lifetime from the HQET Sum Rule

The HQET sum rule analysis for the \Lambda_b matrix element of the four-quark operator relevant to its lifetime is reported. Our main conclusion is that the lifetime ratio \tau(\Lambda_b)/\tau(B^0) can be as low as 0.91.Comment: 5 pages, latex, no figures, uses sprocl.sty (included). Talk by C. Liu at Int.

Understanding flavor mixing in Quantum Field Theory

We report on recent results showing that a rich non-perturbative vacuum structure is associated with flavor mixing in Quantum Field Theory. We treat explicitly the case of mixing among three generations of Dirac fermions. Exact oscillation formulas are presented exhibiting new features with respect to the usual ones. CP and T violation are also discussed.Comment: 9 pages. Presented at the "International Conference on Flavor Physics", Zhang-Jia-Jie, China, May 31 - June 6 200

Non-Leptonic Two Body B Decays in QCD

We review the current status of theoretical study of non-leptonic two body B decays. There are two independent directions for this purpose. One is the so called QCD factorization approach (or BBNS approach), which is based on naive factorization approach. The other one is named perturbative QCD approach. We list the different ideas and applications of the two method, and make a comparison between the two.Comment: 12 pages, including 2 figures, invited talk given at International Conference on Flavor Physics (ICFP 2001), Zhang-Jia-Jie City, Hunan, China, 31 May - 6 Jun 200

Theoretical status of the lifetime predictions: (ΔΓ/Γ)Bs,τB+/τBd(\Delta \Gamma/ \Gamma)_{B_s}, \tau_{B^+}/\tau_{B_d} and τΛb/τBd\tau_{\Lambda_b}/\tau_{B_d}

We give a review of the theoretical status of the lifetime predictions in the standard model. In case of $(\Delta \Gamma/ \Gamma)_{B_s}$ we are already in a rather advanced stage. We obtain $(\Delta\Gamma/\Gamma)_{B_s}=(9.3^{+3.4}_{-4.6})$. It seems to be difficult to improve these errors substantially. In addition now some experimental results are available. For $\tau_{B^+}/\tau_{B_d}$ and $\tau_{\Lambda_b} / \tau_{B_d}$ the theoretical status is much less advanced and the discrepancy between experiment and theory still remains. We conclude with a what-to-do-list for theorists.Comment: Invited talk given at the International Conference on Flavor Physics in Zhang-Jia-Jie City, Hunan, China, May 31 - June 6,2001. 6 page
