Abstract
We present a determination of a new class of three-loop Feynman diagrams describing heavy-to-light transitions. We apply it to find the corrections to the top quark decay and to the distribution of lepton invariant mass in the semileptonic quark decay . We also confirm the previously determined total rate of that process as well as the corrections to the muon lifetime.
