Sum rules for b→cτν transitions to orbitally excited charm hadrons show larger deviations from heavy quark symmetry than ground states, with tensor effects often sizable, but current form factor uncertainties prevent robust lepton-universality predictions.

Form factors for B_q to J^P=2^+ tensor meson semileptonic decays are computed via light-cone QCD sum rules with external B state, yielding SM decay rates and LFU test ratios.
Tau polarization in baryonic semileptonic decays supplies the leading sensitivity to lift EFT degeneracies unresolved by meson measurements in b to c tau nu transitions.
The SU(3) flavor symmetry violation in the extended b to c semileptonic sum rule is smaller than expected future experimental uncertainties, supporting new physics-agnostic consistency checks.
The authors evaluate form factors via HQET and z-expansion for B_s to D_s** l nu decays, predict SM LFU ratios R_Ds0*=0.158(20) etc., and analyze NP effects in WET/SMEFT/2HDM showing scalar/tensor operators produce >2 sigma deviations in some observables.
Covariant light-front quark model calculations of B to D(1S,2S) and D*(1S,2S) semi-leptonic branching ratios match light-lepton data but underpredict tau modes, yielding R(D)=0.261 and R(D*)=0.228.
Fits to B to D(*) l nu form factors with BSZ, BGL and HQET yield |V_cb| matching PDG average for BGL but smaller for HQET, while data still allows non-zero new physics contributions.
