Explicit form of the Isgur-Wise function in the BPS limit

Abstract

Using previously formulated sum rules in the heavy quark limit of QCD, we demonstrate that if the slope rho^2 = -xi'(1) of the Isgur-Wise function xi(w) attains its lower bound 3/4, then all the derivatives (-1)^L xi^(L)(1) attain their lower bounds (2L+1)!!/2^(2L), obtained by Le Yaouanc et al. This implies that the IW function is completely determined, given by the function xi(w) = [2/(w+1)]^(3/2). Since the so-called BPS condition proposed by Uraltsev implies rho^2 = 3/4, it implies also that the IW function is given by the preceding expression.Comment: 19 page
