Abstract
We consider the four-body semi-leptonic decays of charmed mesons. Assuming that the effective Hamiltonian HwJhJl and that Jh transforms as a 15-dimensional representation of SU(4), we expand the transition amplitude 〈M2, M3|Jh|M1〉 in terms of the eigenamplitudes of SU(4). By the help of SU(4) invariance of the amplitudes we obtain sum rules for the various decay rates.
