Abstract
Making use of the measurement of the branching ratio together with the relations following from the limit of high recoil energy, we obtain stringent constraints on the values of the form factors entering in heavy-to-light processes such as and decays. We show that the symmetry predictions, when combined with the experimental information on radiative decays, specify a severely restricted set of values for the vector and axial-vector form factors evaluated at zero momentum transfer, These constraints can be used to test model calculations and to improve our understanding of the dependence of semileptonic form factors. We stress that the constraints remain stringent even when corrections are taken into account.
