%0 Journal Article %T Analyticity and the Isgur-Wise Function %A Adam F. Falk %A Michael Luke %A Mark B. Wise %J Physics %D 1992 %I arXiv %R 10.1016/0370-2693(93)90892-L %X We reconsider the recent derivation by de Rafael and Taron of bounds on the slope of the Isgur-Wise function. We argue that one must be careful to include cuts starting below the heavy meson pair production threshold, arising from heavy quark-antiquark bound states, and that if such cuts are properly accounted for then no constraints may be derived. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/9211222v1
