Abstract
Stringent relations between theB(∗)→D(∗)form factors exist in the heavy quark limit and the leading symmetry breaking corrections are known. We reconsider their uncertainty and role in the analysis of recent Belle data forB→D(∗)ℓνwith model-independent parametrizations and in the related prediction ofR(D(∗)). We find |Vcb| = 41.5(1.3) 10−3and |Vcb| = 40.6(− 1.3+ 1.2) 10−3using input from Light Cone Sum Rules, andR(D∗) = 0.260(8).
